i burn my love
into quite of your breath
slowly the song touches
my weary fate

i burn my love
into the depth of your stillness
so that is hazy, wacthfull
from theend approaching
my longing flies
stabs vanishing shadows
my longing is the bird of night
catching the light: the secret of the stars

i rend clouds
i rend voices
how heavy you are in the soul
so that the heart, so that the anchor at the shore
reaches also this pulse
