Und du Fällst

And I raise this feather
And feel my words as I write
And I thank and I listen
And drown completely in you

And the lies in your eyes
And you laugh and they fall
And as a master in conversation
Your words are damp and empty

And your voice carries neither light
Nor does it hold hope or truth
Just the bridge and the mediator
For the blindness of this world

So alone are you in me
And I alone completely in you
And everyone thinks and loses
Their mind in this world

Blind lost - deadened
So lost - confused and clear
You think you understand life
Undeterred - understandable but difficult
Yet deep and real - yet rather empty

And as a servant of this world
You follow the bright light of lies
And the colors of true love
You feel, see, and know not

Whipped up in the dark night
Alone, waking up in the rain
The soul burns - Your heart extinguishes
And you still do not understand

So the mind reacts and wanders
In the labyrinth of security
Where the search within oneself -
Where does honesty begin?
