Give me another song to lay me to sleep. Turn me once more
the last page of a beautiful novel.

Give me more sunrises as sunsets
and a torrent of raindrops to cleanse me of the dirt I carry around on my soul.

Break open the coffin I keep building around myself,
pull me into the universe.
Let me swim in clear water and watch the hairs on my skin ripple,
like tiny nerves longing to feel.

Open my eyes to things I've never seen,
all I wish to understand
and close them to all I must let go,
the chains that keep me fastened.

Help me to become a fire in a lonely forest and guide me to breathtaking sights and heavenly sounds.

...so one day I could guide others there as well...
