In Soft Tone Poem by Jan Hendrik Leopold

In Soft Tone



A quiet day surrounds me
and within me life faints.
I feel close the fear of creatures
and am alone in my own peace.


Is there not in me the attention
of verses and their quiet performance
woven into this small poem made of
some happiness and light sorrow?

That you were near me once again
and I found you cool and pure
and understood in sadness
the distance between you and I.
