MY LOVER

   
   
   

Dedicated to: Lawrence Eaton

Far away in a distance
In another world, another time
I've visited you there in my mind.

Peeking through your window
I see the shimmering lights
A warm caress, a joyous cry
And all that which comes after
In the innocence of a childs laughter

Hiding low behind a bush
I can see contenment in your smile
I want to shout out loud
Run away with me come now,
But I duck down

Sneaking to take another look
Your eyes meet mine
My heart raises through
Running fast from the truth I feared
Through a dark empty field
I stop, and fall to my knees
There I find myself embrassing me.

I hear the humming of birds
And feel the warmth of the sun
As everything becomes crystal clear
I rise from the damp grass, and brush myself off
Taking a look at God's creation
I begin to come out of my imagination
Into the real world.

Far away in a distance
In another world, another time
I visited you there in my mind.

Hermann Hesse

There's no reality except the one contained within us.
That's why so many people live an unreal life.
They take images outside them for reality and never
allow the world within them to assert itself.
