Lake of One Wish

While I was looking at the evening

inside deep darkness

a thought flew away

As a shooting star

and like a burning bolt

lit my whole past -

forgotten and tenebrous

I saw myself in another world

in another time

where everything used to look pleasurable

There was a serene lake

and in the riverside

a couple of lovers

was cuddling innocently

Many people had come to that lake

To see the growing childhood

Then the couples became old

and the joy were lost bit by bit

Lake of hope, my refuge

and I always come back to see it again

Timeless. This memory

is part of me, of my desire

But not of my existence
