Pine trees and the sea



I beseech you, love

that was lost ere dawn

to sea-gulls and the ocean wide

to turn back - look at me! -

behold what might have been -

In a fairytale slumber

I reach for you, longing for a kiss -

- thin as air, the ocean stole you -

- I wake on empty brains ...

I look at you, my love,

without remorse, for though

we cannot be reborn

or join this side of death,

my heart will know you evermore

and say no more of loss -

In a groove of ancient pine trees

I bury my heart.

Will you ever remember yester eve

ere the world was born?

I fell in love with you

when I heard your voice,

saw your smile,

and felt your spirit

- life might have crushed me.

But here,

under earth and needles

my heart will be safe

in its earthly slumber,

waiting for you ...

One day you might remember.

Luck is, to see double rainbows in the sky,
a helpful person near you, stand by.
Luck is, to walk through a forest in silence,
so to get a good health and balance.

Luck is, to hear the harp‘s lovely melody,
in the morning you feel, as you can fly.
Luck is, if you can play the piano wunderful
and make people happy and powerful.

Luck is, to listen the birds in holy paradies,
the sound stay in your heart very nice.
Luck is, if an angel is with you on the road,
when it will get cold, you have a coat.

Luck is, if you get time and a smile,
from an unknown person for a while.
Luck is, you are part of your family,
to have great fun, a home and stability.

Luck is, if you live the present of your lifes,
if the sun is shining, or you‘re in crises.
Do the best for yourself and all the others,
life will develop like trees and flowers.
