Let us keep love within our hearts
Until our legs at last collapse,
Like rotted stalks of corn,
Frozen, lifeless,
Bowed to the earth.
*
Pain, hope, desire –
Their voices mingle
With the restless wandering wind.
*
You have no hope of happiness!
Fate and destiny inscribe your life,
Though your soul be clear as a blue mirror,
Pure as the stillness of a quiet lake.
*
Deep and lofty furrows
Are carved upon your heart;
They dreamed of the sea.
They dreamed of the sea.
*
Let us listen
To how feeble truth has grown
Upon this spinning globe.
Life – Affliction is your name.
*
Seeking purification,
I gave my heart
To a cold mountain.
*
To a cold mountain crowned with snow,
To silence,
To eyes of stars,
To the comet
That guides the mariner home.
*
Unspeakably bitter
Has every gesture become.
Yet–
*
Let us carve love
Into the depths of our hearts.
Though you must know–
Whoever you may be–
Happiness was never granted
