I Must Go Away

I must go away very quickly

so you would not meet me

in the morning, during day or night.

Sometimes I shall come to you

with the sky and rain.

I will be nowhere and I will everywhere.

With moonlight 

I shall shine in your windows,

or with a warm wind

I shall knock at your door.

Never will you see more of my tears,

and you will not hear my reproaches 

or questions about what happened.

I am not a beggar,

I myself can give you

my belief and hope

and my poetry.

Again and again, all evening

your TV is crying.

Have you relaxed?

Well, it is time!

it is a pity you do not hear

how I pray for you.
