A moment of beauty -
  the sparkling Sun
    on the rippled waters
      through 
        the unusually 
          elongated leaves
           of the unusually
             round trees.

Another year has passed -
 a year of temptations,
  frustrations,
    success,
      betrayals,
       traveling,
        work
         and disease...

There has been 
  so much of everything,
    but I don't seem
      to have become 
        a more perfect me.

I think,
 everything 
   has happened 
     already.

But that is not true.

There will be more temptations,
  more frustrations,
    more success,
      more betrayals
       more traveling,
         work
           and disease.

Plus horrors
  of the old age.

And I don't seem
 to have the energy
  to become
   a more perfect me.

But that is not true.
