Pine trees and the sea
Ein Gedicht von

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.
