What is the fate of quince tree
From earth’s core to heaven?
From bits of this land to world’s atmosphere?

To be beautiful,
Fruits watch sunlight, wind and rain
What is the fate of beauty?

Earth’s music is still saved
In the ears of quince tree.

I attach ears to this beauty
The scent of quince in my sense of smell
The velvet of its body in my hands…

Oh, SOUL of tree!
I visited you for some seconds.
