In darkness so bright

Every longing a fear
Every shadow a tear
The mountains lean forward
The valleys stretch high
The stars write patterns that never die
The wind hums in riddles
The wound of existence becomes wisdom
And in the soul illusions dissolve
Yet the dream still remains
A heart that is fractured still holds the chains
Morning is night when we see that the light
only exists in darkness so bright
Everything broken is forming anew
And every beginning leads back to you
Evening becomes a circle that bends
Without start and without end
The stars leave their marks on the vast open sky
The songs of the unseen will never die
Step by step the vale grows thin
A gentle light comes from within
Reality now broken wide
The world flows slowly like the tide
To understand existence
You must see from above
A higher point of view reveals the terrain which we call love
If we reach for a soul
And never grasp it
We can never be whole
And our memory starts it
A movement towards a new ground to hold
When we fear to grow old
The meaning never unfolds
And our bodies are vessels for our blood to flow
In distorted lines hearts are confined
and wisdom pays no mind
Wishes and hope
Make us all blind
To the truth of this world which is nothing but kind
Together we live and alone we might show
What was never there in the warmth of the snow
Water evaporates and forms
The mirthless condition is a thoughtful position
All this intrusion on our sacred solution
We all live in a fight
That never ends and on blindness depends
We are oneness in everything
No borders in the sky
The truth is love unshaken
The rest are passing lies
Together and alone we shine
