Selected Poems from Stray birds

Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.

O troupe of little vagrants of the world, leave your footprints in my words.

The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.
It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.

It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom.

If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.

The bird wishes it were a cloud.
The cloud wishes it were a bird.

Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.

Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.

We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us.

Death's stamp gives value to the coin of life, making it possible to buy with life what is truly precious.
