do you smell the lilacs
as clearly as I do
does the moss embrace your bare feet
and do the apple blossoms
float around you
in the gentle wind
do you see the clouds
resembling mountains
is your sky darkening in the same way
do the raindrops hitting your face
shock you awake
like they do me
do you hear the common cuckoo
calling in the night
and do you answer?
