midnight in the garden of peace

international poetry antology
Listen only to your soul, for it hurts you,
Do not listen to the one who betrays you behind your back,
Build peace in your nest so that it does not fly
And don't be a slave to humble plunder.
And those who were around you, if they leave,
Lay a beautiful flower bridge for them,
Answer them kindly, for they bent down
Love yourself, fly, live thrills!
