Poems

By the window
by Günes Kale

I see you
sitting by the window
at dawn
holding your face
gazing outside
listening to a song
you try to grasp

Your heart is open
your mind is still
a tear flowing gently
down your cheek

Unheard song
for such a long time
nearly forgotten
and not yet remembered

I see you
listening by the window
at dawn
weighing your life
gazing outside
finding a song
you long to hear.
