Silver ball tree

The tree, at east of our woods,

was empty, inside.

One leaf hangs upon her window.

As the door opens, opened faces

look to the one, who knows it All,

in one.

They have to stand, together,

I have seen it as regarded

the best idea of a time beyond love.

When they all expect, a moment

to become forever, I am silent,

watching closely the day move

in another new blue, whitest light

of fading stars … and one ball.
