The same Beloved, singing the same song...




No postmortems, please.
The world is immortal.
The world renews itself.
 
What about poems and songs --
Do they perish?
Maybe they only
Vanish awhile.
Maybe they go underground
To gather some other
Knowledge and come back
In another form:
 
New words, a new melody,
Yet somehow
The same beloved,
Singing the same song.
