Contents:

In the silence

(Because I have wandered long ...)

My seasons are the leaves

It is safety

In vast complexity the order lies

You are instantly enfolded

Who is not a stranger still

My love when this is past

The birds are no more

Clad in garments now

Describe nicely the

Let fall the glowing veils

Dragging behind me

Dissatisfaction stretches into pain

Reality shifted

What marked the river's flow

Estranged from dying leaves

What is known

Who collects the pain

How firm and swift

Let April come

This is beginning

I have spent my life

April-anxious

Kneeling to the

It is again

Moving deep

Grown to you at last

That I am yours

At some point past ecstasy

Let me be held when the longing comes

That we head towards.
