Light of your Love

(Written originally in English)

Like a ship
that passes in the night
you again come in my dreams by night.

But, alas,
the dreams last not so long -
they’re carried with the morning breeze
away at dawn.

Vanishing you whisper:
"Think of me sometimes".
And only light
of your ever-present love
remains to gleam in skies.

Most likely,
it’s easy for you now to be
somewhere far away,
where you still whisper:
"Remember me
for ever and a day".

"My darling, -
I whisper in reply, -
through life’s long day
my thoughts are
with the days gone by,
where you remain
for ever in my tears,
and light of your ever-present love
does gleam a length of years".

I know,
you’ll again come in my dream,
and night shall whirl us
in its dizzy dance;
and light of our ever-present love
will stream
from the celestial skies
upon each one of us.

But, alas,
as always,
like a bird you’ll fly
away
through the open window
before daybreak,
and I’ll
remain in the captivity
of silence and a void,
at night,
in the space where love
did once upon a time reside.
