Whirlpools

WHIRLPOOLS

I saw a cloud smile

while heavy tears wet its breast

I saw a rose bloom

amid the indifference of people

I saw the moon bend down

to gather its shadow slipped onto the earth

I saw a child rejoice

cradled in a mother's arms

I saw two lovers exchange their skin

in moments of endless enchantment

I saw a tree softly skim

the flight of a hesitant sparrow

And the river runs slowly

with its old man's murmur watches the young streams conform to the placid waters of its bends
