Clouds

Like limpid curtains

gather out of

nowhere

floating

into each other

Thicken, lapse into

a small cloth

hollow mountains

white cotton hills

Imitating

living forms

on a blue canvas

which diffuses

vanishes

into nothingness

Like footsteps

in the sand

after a wave

a retreating white foam

on vast waters

A life’s last breath

lost in silence

Like an invisible soul

on its final journey

to the furthest end –

beyond the edge

of the universe
