midnight in the garden of peace

international poetry antology
Laws of the universe
We live in a world built by laws
It is an honor to follow them, in reverence,
For who of the secrets will untie,
When everything gets too degenerate?
Whatever we send into the silent Universe
It comes back like a new boomerang.
Created is nothing: neither the air, nor the verse
And man is born with a lack of rank.
We make the change, by simple-acceptance
Of everything that happens to us on earth
And in a difficult evolution towards awakening
We also change the holy covenant of life.
We carry an honest burden on our shoulders
Of everything that happens in a human life.
The past, the present and a tomorrow terrify us,
They are tied in bundles like flowers in a tree.
We are thinking of only one deed,
At two we can't, it wasn't and it won't be,
And the rich mind, in the wise garment,
Learns through thoughts, through deeds to live.
