flying with the same pair of wings
You, on my left, keeping an eye on the Sun
Me, on the right, dancing with the Moon and the Stars.
What happened now that we flew apart?
Could birds fly with one wing only,
or should we return to Earth,
Becoming dust, is just one way to die
I still want to see you on the other side of the clouds,
where we could’ve met the Gods together,
watching an Eclipse over and over..
Where are you now that I can’t see you?
Or is that my eyes are getting worse by the hour?
I write to you and I can feel that
you are taking the same train I’m sitting on at this very moment,
I can feel you, like you are here with me, or could be any second.
But I’m alone, with the music which speaks of Heaven.
We’ve been there, remember?
Memories and pictures of you are still colorful,
but will they become grey and fade away,
or will we meet again to refresh them, and
to fly till the sky together again?
I don’t want to die without your memories in my heart.
where did you bury our wings?
Could we grow them out again?
I can still speak the language of the stars,
you are gone, you became a wildflower,
on the meadows of everyday life.
(I watched you through a breaking glass)
and I’ll wait for you, some more time,
this is what I can give you,
I’ll sing my wings out again,
they’ll never be the same.
Your colors I won’t see anymore.
Just the silver shining of the Moon,
Just the deep blue waves of the roaring sea,
the Ocean above and underneath me.
Just the morning without cinnamon in my coffee,
just my smiles without us laughing our hearts out,
just the endless road without
(So this is what it feels like to lose a dear friend).
