FLOWER IN THE GARDEN

A splendid flower, hello!

Don’t you know me?

I live here, near you,

you are blooming close to me.

We drink water from the same stream.

Our air is one and the same:

I breathe out – you breathe in,

you breathe out – I breathe in.

But if something goes wrong –

Someone breaks your blossom,

smashes your stem,

I’ll be living after your death,

for only one last short breath.
