It was black
and white
White as snow
and black as night
black..and white

like a distant star
fixed in the unreachable space
and a bird that jumps so far
whenever I chase

like an elegant garden
full of lovely flowers
a temporary happiness
Never captured by hours

It was something of the past
memories that once were real
but ashes at last...
burried in black
and covered with white
