The wild flower asked-
The landscape will not accuse me
when I'm not around anymore
so who will take me?
who must come?
The earth replied-
Just imagine
what you will do
with your time
will you sing of the sky
that carries you on a wind?
will you plunge into the earth
and the inside
of your depth?
In the end
every wild flower
will have given its due
so do not tremble
you continue.
