Battiato Franco haiku

Select language to translate this lyric

Sitting under a tree to meditate
I saw myself motionless dancing with time
like a blade of grass
bowing to the May breeze
or to its bad weather.
To the dew that settles on the flowers
when autumn announces itself
I resemble
I who must vanish
and would like to
suspend myself in nothingness
reduce myself
And become nothing.
