Your favorite poem and why

[quirkasaurus]

okay -- mine is from Akino Arai -- a japanese song writer,
in japanese, it's phonetically very beautiful, and
the translation is very cool.

she's actually singing about the moment of death when
the soul is transported away from the body...

in japanese:

kiri fukai mori no iriguchi
mezamete kuroi tori o miru
dare ga sono koe o kiita

at the entrance of a deep misty forest
awakening, i see a black bird
who's voice is that i heard?
