Love

Space.

There’s space between us, love, my love,
there’s city space, there’s water space,
spaces bars I cannot pass.

My thoughts are filled with longing words
tell a love that shall not yet avail
my knocking heart, chambers of fragile glass.

Your eyes look up, mine look down,
I see the far-off promised land
beyond the hills the Afrikaner sup,

where sleep and sing a divine crown,
nature pearls of beasts and men,
living in an harmonious cup.

Time is short, the shadows stretch,
fly to me, I fly to you
let’s make together the crazy way.

We can’t hide in lonely edges,
sin with me, I sin with you
so long the day is called today.

I tell you what I dreamed last night,
it was not dark, it was light,
all I dreamed was but to learn
that all is small save love
for love is all in all.
