A New Day Poem by Ndue Ukaj

A New day

I am awake and sitting in front of the window.
It is open, just like my eyes, just like my mouth
Just like the flowers that take sun rays on the morning
Just like the hills undressed from the dark night.

A tree is up front, and many colors are in it,
Is the color of a tree log, of wet leaves and fruits
That fulfills her meaning, its existence.

I am in front
Just like the window in front of me.
And the tree
With its invisible roots
Keeps all that beauty.

I stay in front of the window
and see behind the tree
That naked hill, and take a peak towards the horizon
There are disappearing pedestrians
with various news from the city.

I stay in front of the window
and think for two truths.
That are fighting,
just like my eye's fight with the hill touching the sky
And the tree with its deep roots
On the earth which is never full of water.
