Die Antwort Ist Schweigen

A glance - a lifetime
This is where I want to go - this is the way!
A golden gate - beautiful to see
Sturdy and delicate, crafted with art

But that wasn’t you

I stepped through the gate
I walked through the gate
Into a garden full of wonders
Endless abundance, pleasing all the senses
Wild overgrowth with thistles and thorns
The perfect chaos

But that wasn’t you either
I can’t grasp you
You don’t reveal yourself
That wasn’t you

At the center of this place stands a house
So many windows - I don’t call out
I don’t step in - I knock
But silence makes my quiet fade away
Now the door can’t hold anymore
Following the passive invitation
I give myself completely to this strange house

But that isn’t you either
All of this is you and yet it’s not you
I can’t grasp you
You don’t reveal yourself
The answer is silence
