Without Age
“I feel too old
to conquer the world...”
Napoleon said,
When he was going to be
35 years old...
“I feel young
to make the world wise...”
Goethe said,
As he approached
His 90s...
The emperor
Or the poet,
Who is right?
Don’t Wipe My Tear!
My soul is full of longing
And my longing burns,
It burns and becomes tears…
The tears fill the eye
Make the eyelashes heavy
With the weight of the globe…
Can I hold it?
No it can’t be held…
The tear is a name,
It is love…
Are you thirsty?
Drink it,
But please do not wipe it!…
