Birds of Paradise
One night
I listened
to a song
that rose
upward
as a bird
searching
lost paradise.
Found a tree,
white-blooming
at the gate
of paradise:
a deserted misty
morning-garden.
Walked among flowers,
enjoying colours
with my eyes,
waiting for
the unknown man
in the garden of youth.

Paradiesvögel
Eines Nachts
hörte ich ein Lied
das aufstieg,
wie ein Vogel
der das Paradies
sucht.
Fand einen weiß
blühenden Baum
am Tor des Paradieses:
Ein unberührter,
dunstiger Morgengarten.
Ging unter Blumen.
Farben erfreuten
meine Augen,
wartete auf den
unbekannten Mann
im Garten der Jugend.
