as light as a feather
Her jet black hair flying
connected with the golden sunset.
I know that she will live
to be brave and strong willed,
with a passion boiling like fire.
She runs across the sand with spry steps,
Towards the glow beyond that string of mountains,
the invisible silk path stretching beyond boundaries
her laugh ringing through that endless sky
forever.
I now find it hard to walk,
my knees tremble and my arms shake.
She is already taller than me,
as a clatter along with three legs
The night is so close
as if I could reach out and touch the
setting sun with ashen hands.
Night falls, and the devil awakens,
Mother, the sun watching my life,
Father, the moon singing me to sleep,
melted away with the winking stars,
forever.
I squint. The end is near--
cities and towns appearing in the distance.
I turn my head, seeing her
red curls flying in the chilling winds,
casting a dark shadow across the
soft, golden land
I touch my wet cheek.
This it it-- the place where two worlds meet.
Raising my head boldly,
Glancing back at her,
I know that there is no end,
That we will remain as one,
that the great journey will continue to unfold.
This is only the first time,
but I know, that I have reached the end
My limit and last steps.
Thank you for walking beside me.
it is time
to close those weary eyes
forever.
