from ground i understand the sky
stories flow and entwine
i know now
i do not have to chose right

from hunger i understand lust
the first drop of wine
tastes like the sweetest pleasure
and the last one like dust

from cold i understand warmth
lives sail in the seas of all
i take it in
and when its time i loosen the hold

in pain i understand joy
careless smiles are followed by tears
so i will cry
and never bother to close the door

in life i understand death
melodies are sung until they end
but when all is done
it is life i am terified i won't be able to comprehend
