Gert W. Knop Poet Tanka

Abendsinfonie / Evening Symphony

Sinfonie der Einsamkeit
Gesang der Zikaden
Wie Blätterrauschen

Stille über den den Bergen
Im hellen Schein des Vollmonds

--------------------------------------

Symphony of solitude
Songs of grasshoppers
Like murmur of leaves

Silence captured the mountains
In a clear light of full moon
