Life is in the dark caverns, a sweet blossoming
like a blooming night flower
or the cry of a lonely bird that reaches the evening sky
there is a light here in the depths
there is a peace, a silence that unveils me
reveals my true self to you
and I shine as the stars do, mirrored in the dew
Lightning quivers from edge to edge
and opens up the way for me
in your arms, all surrenders to the thaw
and melts away like a clear, running stream
that always comes back to your ocean
never desiring to return from whence it came
