I want to reach out into the sky br Of the sky of the sky br And seize the sun br From shining on the rye, br And let all the shadows br Reflect as one. br br Just stop everything, br Wind down every clock, br Every tick-tock br Of boats swishing at the dock. br And let me shrink br And think br To link br Myself to this world, br Now unfurled br To a kink. br br And let me stand naked in the night, br In the shadow of the dark br And all is stark br As I hark br This emptiness of fright, br And not a star, br Not from afar br Seems to be shining bright. br br So give me one more breath br To sniff this bliss, br This glowing mist br Of nothingness. br And I'm lost in me, br In my world so free, br Unable to see death.br br K.
