black and white sunday: timeless

The depth of the hearts

Of humankind cannot be known.

But in my birthplace

The plum blossoms smell the same

As in the years gone by.

black & white sunday: natural

 

There are pauses between the showers of the outer world,

But there is no time when my sleeves, wet with tears, are dry.
