Today I feel

Today I feel like

autumn -

like a tree standing naked

with my eyes shot

praising the summertime I had

and praying 

for it to come again

one day.

Today I feel like

a big storm is on its way -

and that one of my oldest

and most meaningful

branches -

is falling down to break

something into pieces.

Today I feel like

standing out somewhere

without feeling my roots

but still some blackbirds

and dragonflies -

are finding their ways to me.

Here I stand

while they are flying around

in the heaven of earth
just for the last time
before they go and leave
me alone 
in my new days 
dressed in silence.
