Nightscape
An endless night, cold and dark
Though sometimes stars are seen
But always cold, always night
And I don't remember when
I last saw the sun.
In that night, as I recall
There are changes in light
And location
Think of a lake, sometimes floating
Picture a lake, sometimes sinknig
But always struggling
In my nightscape, I am alone
Without a friend, without a hope
But also without fear and sadness
There is only dark and water
And my struggle to stay alive.
Sometimes, during the starry times,
I have a shadow, a guide
But then it goes away
And I am alone again
And my stars go away.
And when my stars are gone
I need to fight a little harder
Against the icy depths of my lake
Sometimes I grow tired
I don't have the strength to go on
But I have no will to give up
In the recent hours of my endless night
I see more starts, more light
Could it be the sun is rising?
Could it be my night is ending?
Could it be the shore is approaching?
Truly I tell you my wishes
I wish I could see the sun
I wish I could walk a field
I wish I could feel something
Truly I tell you I hope
(Though this night is beautiful)
That I will soon see the day.
