Candle of Time
Candle of Time
Like a candle
burning down
days go by,
and as I see
the bent candle
is near the end,
the tiny flame
is slowly
flickering down.
So I also
counted
the days
passed.

Kerze der Zeit
Wie eine langsam
flackernde Kerze
vergehen die Tage.
Als ich merke,
dass die Kerze
bis auf den Stumpf
niederbrennt,
erlischt das
Flämmchen fast.
So zählte ich auch
verflossene Tage.
