The leaves are falling asleep

How heavy is this world?
As heavy as you want it to be.
Things come to you
out of nowhere.
One moment the brightest paths.
The next, brittle pampas grass
as far as the eyes can see.
Nothing stays the same
and everything
transforms, including me.
All I need to know
is that this is the way it is.
Then one day the temple
bell will sound for me.
And I will be ready.
