Among the trees that stand still
Only to be viewed as symbols.
At a place where everything and anything is possible to be seen
A miracle raised from a dazzling light
Peeping through the amorphous leaves.
Inside a mysterious gloom where no decoding is expected
In this land,
In this fairyland
Far beyond the bitter logic of time,
Far beyond our unchosen land of birth,
Far beyond the past grief and future anxieties,
Safe from the games that life ceaselessly plays upon us, Every minute, every second…
A reflection of our childhood stories
A return to them
No! Not the hapless ones
Not those that drown us in pain…
We then gladly enter the gate of this fairyland.
If only our feet are not too glued to this earth.
We will then either be puzzled, gazing and waiting for a magic that has long been expected…
Or sleep in the meadows
A step toward eternal peace,
An eternal rest.
