The sunset over the Atlantic
As seen from my balcony
A sight that never tires me
Even though it doesn’t change
I don’t know where the ocean ends
And where the sky begins
Even when the colors change
They fade into each other
Instead my life confuses me
Sitting alone on my balcony
Even though the landscapes change
It always just feels the same
I don’t know where the present ends
And the future will begin
The seamlessness just frightens me
As if I’m missing out on life
But like sunset over the Atlantic
Teaches the view from my balcony
There’s more to life than sea and sky
And the sun will elsewhere rise
