I am in a quest for a place
where time doesn’t go by
on horseback, armed with a spear
and a helmet on my head
searching for the place where
time doesn’t fly.
I saw two young people playing chess
under a tree near a spring
And if it rains? I asked the girl
in a beautiful red dress
We don’t care about anything, she said
We are protected by the leaves
And if you are hungry? I asked the boy
We eat honey from the bees
And sweet acorns from the trees
And if you are thirsty? I asked them both
We drink water from the spring
And if someone wins?
We draw all the time
But you will run out of acorns
the spring can run dry
The woman looked at the man, then said
It's fine,
We will draw all the time
But the forest will disappear one day
I said, looking at them
The old woman looked at the old man
We don’t care about anything, she said
We will draw all the time.
Eventually you both will die,
nothing is forever
time...goes by
They seemed sunken in thoughts
for a while
The old man looked at me and said
It will be the same- as you saw
I assure you that
even then we will draw
