Return of Lost Time--By Gert W. Knop--Germany

Rückkehr der verlorenen Zeit--German

Rückkehr der verlorenen Zeit,
in dieser Nebelnacht
glänzend
wie Blitze,
verstreute Lichter.
Wiederkehr
alter Träume,
Gedanken im Abseits,
Irrlichter im Wechsel.
Wie trockenes Wiesengras,
diese Stille

Return of Lost Time--English

Return of lost time,
in this foggy night
shining
like lightning,
scattered lights.
return
of old dreams,
thoughts offside
ghost lights alternate.
Like dry meadow grass,
this silence
