Which one is better?

Which one is better?
an unknown existence
or a forgotten existence
from bewilderedness of time

I have lived both here
from an unknown person
to a forgotten love that
have spanned my short lifetime

Which one is better?
the crumbling yellow
or fresh leaves of spring
that grow on once barren trees

I have seen both here
from fallen dry leaves
to the smiling buds that
have bloomed on all trees

Which one is better?
the dry dunes of sand
or the expanse of water
that extends beyond horizon

I have lived both here
in hot and arid deserts
to coasts with oceans
where there is nothing till horizon

Which one is better
a small life to live
or a long silence
buried underneath a lump of clay

I have felt both here
fragrant life in your love
to my endless want of you in
separation like dark grave in clay
