The rose never faded away,
her petals still life’s unique array,
her perfume surrounds with a crimson mist,
her unvoiced call is impossible to resist…
I wander in the land of constant twilight
under the blurry hood of sky’s dight,
just to be comforted by her sweet presence,
a nightly reverie chanting in blissful silence.
I desire never to recover my awareness,
and, loathly, I widen my eyes in distress,
eager for the next journey, though knowing
no more a Rose, but a Lily, I will be searching.
