I'll string together
in a basket life's trivia
and cast it gladly
into the nearest river-

only a few poems
and songs of mine will I keep
myself to contemplate and console
when in future days to revisit-

life is the assembling
and the detaching
in their own time
as along with it I  keep engaging-

I'll string together
in a bouquet my every memory
my every dream, my every inspiration
as I live lovingly, tenderly and freely
