off to bed

Saul Palti

A moment is all takes
to fall in love
and a broken heart wakes
the sweet seconds love

when a child is born
it will farce the world
how the sheep is torn
beat and swirled

grow tall and become
the world in fall
for the few and some
no task is ever to small

hopes desire strangely gone  
when your a father and mother
a daughter or a son
while setting the land in laughter
