When

存在への小さな頌歌

When — a poem by Pemba Umoja

When

Know not where
Know not why

Know not how
or what

私はこれらのことを何ひとつ知らない

but when
I hold
so near

but when
I breathe
in and out

but when
pulses like waves
through my veins

but when
the sweetest
of moments

but when
in a world
誰をも待たぬ

ほかには何も知らないこと
but when

そしてその時のために
to be

now.
