I have never slept in your arms
As this, before this night,
As I’ve trod new paths
And waited for dawn to smile!
Playing under the clouds and in
The bosom of the sky above,
I have never felt so free and yet lonely!
I have never been so frightful too!
And I have never been so serene!
I have moved into distance and
Dared to see all of life;
I have been to places that run wild;
In spirits, in tide and in richness galore,
The sunken ship longs for a shore!
I have been there in rains and in
The droplets that was stored…
I have seen the poor little grass that
Have not been allowed to rise,
And the armoured soul that have
Not been spared to blossom
As clipped wings bemoan their life!
In the sand and dust where
I’ve played with your mate
Where time broke rules and stood still,
Where the brook flows with the tide
And where the feathers of love
Tickled the veins!
I have seen your glory and shared your shades…
I have paired with you in ball rooms and
On the dance floors and met you in court rooms!
I have drunk the lustrous wine,
I have tasted the bitter pie;
And I have seen the tears dry!
I have melted in sadness and sunshine,
And I have risen through flames and lamps alike…!
