drifting

Does faith call upon courage

when courage is not enough for faith?

dark skies and rainy clouds

all around

a new age rising

in blood red sunset

Do we call upon others in our hour of need

or do we bury our heads in our hands

and weep?

when loneliness enslaves once more

ancient dawns

and once pure love

Too many nights

have washed your soul

or is it that your heart has just grown old?

oh! crave for truth

crave for God

wish upon all stars of silver-gold

Do you cling to what you know

or are you still too shy to grow,

let go of comfortable, traditional lore?

answers lay

all around and deep inside

close your eyes, open up and let yourself fall in quiet snow

Do you have too many questions

yet unsolved

or is it that you think you might have answered perfectly to them, to all?

nothing simple could bring good

no farewell

can erase what was written in your book

Are you sailing on a known course

which others have taken

others have walked and have for you declared chosen?

no one will take the fall in your steed

no one will break your chains for you

no one will wash your pains if you want to walk alone the road of no return

I'm drifting on my cold turmoiled sea

have most questions pending

on unspoken wish

chose to walk an even path that time alone will unfold in me

and yet, in moments of despair

I drown closed eyes

sink open heart

in all melancholy

of what is due

and might never be
