To whom shall I bare
my little piece of earth?
Dedicate my humble prayer
to whose blessed birth?
Shall I proceed to drown
In salty oceans grim?
Or should again set sail
Through the winds of purple whim?
Should I lose once more
To the wars fought within?
Or tell my raging core
To make a virtue of every sin?
Shall I stand on this cliff
To wake up the drowsy land?
Shall you never know my if
And the tremors of my hand?
What keeps me from you,
These dreams and the rest?
Then will they burn my wings
And push me from my nest?
Am I the letter you never sent?
Am I the unopened book?
Am I the forgotten home,
You never turned back to look?
Are these my veins
With breathless blood
Those in haste run to my heart?
Beseech you to let me
Love yet again
Before we to oblivion depart…
