La Japonesa
Inward eyes – tranquillity
A barca floats, the river running
Not still but deep
Oh river running
The timeless peace is monumental
This lady`s face is transcendental
Speaking wordless, worlds in silence
River running, river running
The icon so, some graven image
Flickers in a moment`s sight
Swiftly passed as birds in flight
But burnt forever on the mind
Is still the image, though we`re blind
Her memory is of our kind.
