She's here

Florin Dragoș Minculescu

She came unannounced

And we didn't know whom she wanted. 

We feel it, didn't see it, 

But we could say:

– She's here!

She's even in our dreams, 

She's everywhere, 

Every life's beginning, 

She is!

 

Hello, 

Hello, Death!

Don't come and don't make us miss you.

Don't stay and don't go.

Don't take and don't give.

Instead,

Teach us how to come, 

Teach us how to go, 

Teach us how to give.

How to be.., how?

What to be.., what?

And why Death, why to be, we've asked. 

 

One of us fell, and we could see…

In what we were not, 

In what we have did, 

We've seen the how, the what and then the way to that Why,

That never ending Why.
