Tried -- tried again
Am I still -- rigid -- and amazed
And a little -- yes, a little animated
I float over the tame sea
Can the fresh water
I can almost imagine it on my feet
You are exquisite
That you can do something like this
And look - I'm not bleeding anymore
Yet weightless
So rest my eyes on you
And I feel a touch of peace
And so you move on and the image fades away
Everything dissolves
Nothing remains behind
The silence alone remains
And the calm becomes frightening
Lethargy and loneliness accompany it
And I wind myself within myself
And the storm comes up
Whips up the waves
/>If only I could stand up
And look at you again
And I would speak - I would say:
You are here - everything is fine now
[English translation :]
The Longing In Me
Tried - tried again
I am silent - numb - and astonished
And a little - just a little inspired
I float over the placid lake
Can almost feel the fresh wetness
Caressing my feet
You are exquisite
That you can create such things
And look - I am no longer bleeding
Weightless still
My eyes rest upon you
And I feel a touch of tranquillity
And so you move on and the picture fades
Everything dissolves
Nothing is left
Only the silence remains
And the stillness becomes frightening
Lethargy and loneliness are their accommodation
And I curl into myself
And the storm approaches
Whipping up the waves
Could I but rise
And look once again at you
And were I able to speak - I would say:
You are here - now everything is good
