SEARCH
I want to search
Behind the music of life
Seek the whole side of the heart
Because life is live with a song
Joyful heart
And a desire in the eye of the search.
And every shadow of the hunter kills
While the tears of the morning are falling down
Blue painted blue.
But I want to search
Behind the music of the sky
Among these earth flowers.
Seek an eternal song
And sing life.
Endless.
YOU
You who have never
crossed the boundaries of
dream teach me to shout from
mountain tops
at the end of the day,
teach me to open my hands
clenched in fists
and do not be gentle
like those
who give kisses to everyone,
without tenderness. Do not
be false,
latent and arrogant,
be yourself all the way,
be the one
who does not leave his heart
in himself
but gives it to beat
in someone else’s chest.
And only then
will I let you
into the caves of my loneliness,
wilderness and silence, too
silent.
I will allow you
to cross the boundaries
of all limitations
and enter my heart of infinity.
SADNESS
Tell me
my sorrow,
How to rest
of life,
tired,
like a jewel thief
in a dead end.
How to give
such a poor guy
broken hopes
full of regrets
To make him happy.
Like in a cloud
full of rainy sorrows
I’m painting a rainbow
full of life’s joys.
Tell me
my sorrow.
