I want to return.. back to the beginning
When the luminous path promised a winning
In the innermost presence of a lover and a visionary
Where life as it’s being lived is more than enough or else imaginary
In the middle of its happenings, a valley of unrest
Dissolve me, please, and take only the good and the best
Because a moment of surrender seems sweeter than a hundred withstanding
Be with me for a little bit of time
(While I’m still alive!)
as I lie to myself and say it’s all a misunderstanding.
O heart, melancholy, sullen but noble, lie
Beneath the sky, where the pitiless winds cry
