MYRTLE AND ROSES
Venus lights up
And fuels my dreams
Out of the darkness
Develops the hope
Which will lead me
And I will let myself
Be carried away
On the crests of the waves
I will fly
Up to the horizon
Farther than the shadows of mountains
Which will never be climbed
I will wander
Through streets of stone
Where myrtle and roses
Will blossom also for me
Clouds float across the heavens
The winter is nearly over
The dust is lifted from everything
And my heart will awaken
The beating will sound out
Like an ancient song
Gone but not forgotten
The echo of life
I will wait
For the summer to return
For those sun-drenched days
And a calm sea
Then I will climb
The steep cliffs
Where myrtle and roses
Will blossom also for me
Myrtle and roses blossom for me
