    About this ebook

    To You
    Soon the autumn will be burned
    All its weeping flowers will be washed by the snow
    The time of mourning is still away
    And the road is short
    The dreary night comes
    Burdened with a smell of absence
    Your face, when I miss it, turns to a sweet inhalation
    With a taste of nectar

    From a distance, his voice, running, came to me
    From behind the whispers of the clouds and the murmurs of the rain
    I closed this door and that window
    My fingers were muting my hearing
    But it entered
    Pulsated with my pulsing
    And lightened the darkness that was here

      Remarkable words that force you to see the familiar in a new light. When reading, the words almost flow as if you're having a conversation with yourself. I can not reccomend this read enough!
