Who is the author of this poem?

Origin of Poetry
Who, on a sunny afternoon in spring,
The hand that caresses your flowing hair.
Who, in countless gloomy white nights,
I take away the wine I drink alone,
The intense heat
It burned fiercely into his chest.
Who has made season after season of green fields
It crumbled into a damp decay in the soil.
Who holds up the face of the flower?
It made the beauty of the years seem sad.
Who covered the eyes of the stars,
The dark night was covered with deep sorrow.
Who tugged at your skirt?
Clouds are blooming at your ankles.
Who pushed the river of memories away quietly?
Only time was left to drift by his ears.
Who dances the butterfly's wings?
He flew out in the direction of the sky.
Who has changed the climate that has not changed for a thousand years?
Until the rain drowned the world's end,
But he never really stopped.
Who stays for you?
