\tIn the early afternoon     as the curtain flutters
\n\tOn the front of the porch     the dog’s nose stirs
\n\tFrom the neighbor’s house     drift the sounds of a TV
\n\tAbsently I am tranquil     at that moment in the afternoon<\/p>\n

\tI let the fickle wind     take me along
\n\tFrom somewhere a nostalgic time     washes over me<\/p>\n

\tIn the early afternoon     my waving socks
\n\tFluttering together like good friends     dance in the wind<\/p>\n

\tI wonder about the leisurely clouds drifting along
\n\tTo what distant unknown city will they go . . . ?<\/p>\n

\tSmall white flowers bloomed in the garden [1]
\n\tAnd butterflies from somewhere flutter to them<\/p>\n

\tIn the early afternoon     as the curtain flutters
\n\tAbsently I am tranquil     at that moment in the afternoon<\/p>\n

\tIt’s a relaxing feeling, isn’t it
\n\tAt that moment in the afternoon<\/p>\n\n<\/div>
