Appearing gently in the night And stepping down from the cross As if the shadow from the light As if an eagle caught in flight My reaching fingers slowly froze He spoke to me and told me this: “Go forth and spread your gift, my son The blind Cupid mostly missed But you were hit so share your bliss Make others warm, divide the sun” “I tried to preach, nobody listened I tried to write, they burned it all I tried to stop them, tried to reason I tried to speak and got imprisoned They left a hole inside my soul” “Salvation comes to those who wait It is a task each man must face Without sorrow none are great Consume your pride and face your fate And share your light, burn with a blaze” “I’m not half-worthy of this gift With both, my friends and with my foes I’ll share my wealth, I’ll share my grief Just grant me God a chance to breathe And I shall die for a worthy cause” He disappeared just as he came And blended gently with the dark As if the world has found its frame As if awoken by a flame I found myself in Noah’s Ark ------------------ I fell in love and kept on falling |
