I can hear the rain drops falling from the skies,
Yet the sky seems eons away.
The early morning chants ring in my ears,
My eyes open to the echoes from miles afar.
They walk the path of life hand in hand,
Yet their hearts pronounce a polar story.
The oasis in the desert dance in your eyes,
But you still need to chase the sight.
The mother clutches her baby to her heart,
To set it free one day for its fantasy flight.
The stars twinkle at the sight of the moon,
They lie together forever and ever.
The sea-gull soars high,
On its extra-ordinary flight to prove his might.
The angels of life step up for your fight,
Yet the faces never come forth to the light.
The beauty of the unknown mesmerizes you,
Yet the unanswered questions stirs your soul.
The strangers visit your site,
Yet they tread quietly away.
The birds fly across the deep blue oceans,
I am yet to cross but one.
Distances throw a question back at me,
Yet the mystic aura makes me smile.
The soul knows no distances,
It always knows what is right!
This is a German love song. I do not understand the language yet I like the song. It has a very rustic appeal. The English translation is as follows :
I'm going to go into the fir trees
There where I last saw her
But the evening is throwing a cloth upon the land
and upon the ways behind the edge of the forest
And the forest it is so black and empty
Woe is me, oh woe
And the birds sing no more
Without you I cannot be
Without you
With you I am alone too
Without you
Without you I count the hours without you
With you the seconds stand still
They aren't worth it
On the branches in the ditches
it's now silent and without life
And breathing becomes oh so hard for me
Woe is me, oh woe
And the birds sing no more
Without you I cannot be
Without you
With you I am alone too
Without you
Without you I count the hours without you
With you the seconds stand still
They aren't worth it without you
Enjoy the song :)

Beautiful post.
The soul isn't too far away, it's just inside, waiting for us to enter our home. It seems distant though, many times.

one of those writing that i love to read over and over again.
you have weaved the words of the distances and closeness very beautifully.
even knowing odds, one walks on path of life without swaying, this is what i can infer from what you have wrote :)
