Don't worry

When once in a while you face a critical moment,
full of anxiety, pessimism and torment,
when your soul reclines
and aimlessly gropes in the dark alleys of your mind,
man often forgets there might be some little light
shining in there, whispering:
"Don't worry, honey. Every cloud has a silver lining".

Time

However polluted my city is,
however congested its thoroughfares,
despite all this
I still love to take a leisurely walk
across the grass field in the early morning
where drops of dew clinging on the grass blades
glisten in the sun like pearls.

They fill my heart with admiration
and breathing deeply I wish
may I live a long and fruitful life.
If one is in such a happy mood,
one is unaware and doesn't even care
how really fast time is flying by.

Goodness, morning has only just arrived
and evening is already inviting.
Is it Monday again, Saturday again?
Days pass by in such a hurry,
heading for the waiting future
and for the hereafter...
