  sometimes i pick up
  something
  of significance
  on my way
  :
  a leaf from last year
  ein paar scherben
  from long ago
  a feather lost
  by a bird
  cinders
  a broken twig
  or a little flower
  for her
• there is nothing to be found
  without
  significance
  i pick it up
  bring it anywhere
  it is here
  it is always
  here
• when i bring it to you
  it means love
• it was from last year
  this happens
  today
• i empty my bag of findings
  nothing of value
  priceless
  priceless love
• tomorrow i will say
  from yesterday
  yesterday i said
  tomorrow
• the same
• different
• beautiful
• terrific
• a trace of footsteps
  yours
  mine
• a valley
  was a mountain
• all in vain
• love
• a picture
  for some reason
• the reason lost
• a picture without
  reason
• once love
  always
• all ways
• a stick
  a tree
  a fire
• seeing her
• loving you
• kissing
• touching
  the earth
• passing
  away
• notes
  for nothing
• collecting
  in vain

  a leaf from a tree
• a moment in the stream
