Vigilant the Eye
1
Now that light is breaks
I am translucent colour
I am sustained in sound
In the whiteness arriving
In the clear sky
Solitary a bird passes
Like a picture
My window frames
Through the glass a flower
A bird finally perching
2
On the shores of the river
As though a bird of paradise
The rainbow
Over the mountain
Vigilant the eye
3
With purple wings,
Anointed with celestial resin
The fleeing bird
Reminds us of the littleness of acts
Burning flame,
He prolongs the flight,
And like a fugitive
Penetrates the night
