I do not crush world's crown of wonders


I do not crush world's crown of wonders
and do not kill
with reason the mysteries I meet
along my path
in flowers, in eyes, on lips or tombs.
The light of others
drowns the spell of the impenetrable buried
in depths of darkness,
but I,
I with my light enrich the mystery -
and just as with her rays the moon
shrinks not, but shivering
increases the mystery of night,
so I enrich the darkened sky
with shivers of a mystery
and all that is unknown
becomes unknown more so
under my eyes -
for I do love
flowers and eyes and lips and tombs.
