If every corner of the earth is full of light
Who needs stars, who will
stare at the night
look for distant comfort
Who won't
Every day
is a poem
. There is a soft night
soft as a lake
fireflies and stars swimming among water lilies
Who doesn't like spring, birds fall all over the branches
Like stars fall all over the sky
Twinkling sounds come from afar
Clouds of white lilacs are hazy
If every corner of the earth is full of light
Who needs stars? Who will
burn lonely in the cold
look for a little bit of hope
Who wants to
write poems about suffering year after year
Every capital is a group of trembling stars
Like ice and snow in my heart
Who wants to watch the night freeze
as stiff as a piece of land
