If roses quietly lose their petals

If roses quietly lose their petals,
if stars in the sky fade away,
Waves break down on rocks,
And clouds catch the last light of day,
 
It is death - without a terrifying fight,
It is death that captivates with beauty,
Promising relaxation in delight,
The best gift of nature kind and soothing.
 
People should learn from this teacher to die,
She has a divine perception
Of meeting the end with a solemn smile
And peaceful, mild intentions.

A short song

Sometimes the howling fades away
December snow-storms, witches shaggy,
And through the clouds the sun’s bright ray
Will shine with pale and shy intention.
 
Then will my garden call for guests,
And silence is so sentimental,
A short song of a bird attracts
The mood of spring in winter melting.
