A young poet thinks of the beloved

Leonard Pieter Joseph Michielsen

The moon climbs upwards, a dreamer in love,

in order to rest in the blue of night.

A gentle breath of wind kisses

the clear mirror of the pond

causing a melodious movement.

Oh lovely sound, when two things come together

which were created in order to be united.

Oh dear. Things created to be united

rarely come together on this dark Earth.
