The Best Poem Of Iwan Jaconiah

Silentium

A morning comes outside a window;
silent and pale
nobody's home, just a broken shadow
standing and laughing beside me.

Home without flowering
since you are far away
oak trees are dancing,
a glass of wine enough to open the new day.

A morning without memories
only one thing reminds me; hope
nobody cannot deny it
here; grass is shaking under the tree.
