Beautiful nature

sweet bird song

kiss of stars

and golden light

harmonious hour of sleep

sweetest embrace of the night

loving waltz among planets

and silver spectacles all around

But humanity can’t be escaped for long

death without concern

power and fame

ordinary man

suffering in silence

man’s true form

vague tremors of grief

slow movements

corrupted morals

How I long for sleep again

to feel the breath of life on my neck

the dance of the flowers beneath my feet

musicians of the mountains

but I know the truth

once known

never escaped

o gods hear my pleas

and give me a dreamer’s need
