Transcience--By Gert W. Knop--Germany

Transcience

The day,

a house of cards of events

and circumstances.

Branches ramify in the thicket

of a silent morning

like an evening fog.

Reality gives way

to an uncertain future.

Snow, 

now dies away in the rain.

At the banks, 

the river circulates its rounds.

Little, sad waves

reflecting tranquility

Gert W. Knop was born in 1943, studied arts and tropical agriculture and is now living in Zittau, Germany. He writes poetry and short stories in German, English and Spanish.
