Music

Music praises life
It says: Life is wonderful
Life has no weapons
It does not bruise
Nor does it draw blood.
Music strokes and kisses us
And people have been singing
Bravely and proudly
Of life – life which prevails
Of life – life which has lasted 
A million years
The passage of ages has not blurred
The clarity of music
Which resembles the divine
Solitary flight of birds
Gaily, very gaily
I start singing
And the invisible 
Thread of sound is climbing
Up in the air like smoke
Winding up trees and houses
