Request
I asked for a moment of forgetting,
I asked for a moment of joy,
a moment of one simple truth—
a moment when you will appear,
like a wave in a calm sea,
surging and softly caressing.
A moment when I will be forgetting
empty days, days of fear,
a moment when I will find you by my side.
A moment when I will be forgetting
empty days, days of fear,
a moment when I will find you by my side.
Only yesterday you kissed my eyes,
you took my gaze with you
to stand watch and to shield.
Up to the threshold I escorted you,
I carried you as on the palm of my hand,
to the moment when you will say—say yes, yes.
A moment when I will be forgetting
empty days, days of fear,
a moment when I will find you by my side.
A moment when I will be forgetting
empty days, days of fear,
a moment when I will find you by my side.
I asked for a moment of forgetting,
I asked for a moment of joy,
a moment of one simple truth—
in simplicity…
