Nieves (POEM WRITTEN BY GEORGES OHSAWA)

Nieva

Nieva quietly
Snow falls
Covering roofs protesting
The arrogance of the church tower and the forest humble
contemplate
Falling snow
eyes peeled
Like Alice in Wonderland
white snow falls gray sky
incessantly, infinitely
The snow is beautiful
How wonderful snow falling steadily
contemplate the snow
That falls from the sky
As a primitive
Who sees snow
For the first time
Avoid thinking
contemplate
Falling snow
I follow
I fall to the snow
The snow dance
Furiously
gracefully
Snow jumping
Skyward
Snow that crosses the horizon
Snow sky spinning
In large spiral
Small Spiral


Snow


I hear the song he sang
In my childhood
When it snowed
Look at the snow
Snow that falls
Without saying anything
not
She speaks
about many things


pallor of the face of the dead daughter
His life was short
man's life miserable
time
happens if
Life bloody heroes
Life solitary thinkers
brave adventurers Dream
who died
Tragically


Love fiery youth
Disgrace happiness
Joy sadness
Lies and betrayals
scientific discoveries


Pontius Pilates
Jesus
Rise and Fall of the Roman
Sages imprisoned
burned by the Inquisition
defeated Napoleon in Moscow
Verdun and fields of dead
Thousands and thousands of men killed daily
on operating tables
Everything was an illusion
In the white screen of life


The snow has
Silently
Mechanic
white screen on your
All of human history


A word to the movie
white screen
no longer interest anyone
Nobody cares
On the white snow
The snow that covers
All soil
All the sadness
All crimes
All ruins
horrible war
All human stupidity


Snow is white screen
sad and silent
That us see
All scenes
Of the tragedies
Of the comedies
The man


Nieva
Look well
Snow is white screen
infinity
In what be glimpsed
Expansion
infinite expansion


The snow is beautiful
Silent
Remarkably
Eloquent
Snow
The wonder


who does not provide snow
With the joy of a child who listens
His mother tell a gripping story
is snow blind
not see in a lifetime
more than bad dreams and nightmares


Since beyond the world snowing
Above the snow clouds
There is another world where the sun shines
And even beyond
There is another world
in which neither light nor darkness
not heat or cool white or black
Neither life nor death
There


eternity is where the infinite expansion
snow has created the life of the stars
of galaxies
Always
still and always.
