Th e   S i l e n t   C a l l

        My tears are falling into empty space
        the silent call of my longing
        does not trigger an echo
        What is tearing me apart so softly?

        In long years of painful trouble
        I have learned to live the YES
        to find then in this unlimited
        as well the inevitable NO

        My doing was the result of affirmation
        creative forces were triggered by impulses
        The significance of doing melts away -
        emptyness is left

        And through comes a new being
        with alert longing in his heart:
        for joy, for togetherness - in ampleness -
        to be completed with a YOU - in love

        I am not a timeless-spaceless point in universe
        weightless suspended in space
        one and completed by itself
        Where ever I am coming from, I am related to earth

        Can I go further forward on this ground
        than by surrendering without reserve?
        If nothing reflects me - sustains me
        the connecting cord with earthen matter melts away

        Is there an ancient blend of blaze to be completed?
        This is my silent call of longing:
        to unite with YOU!
        Is there a being, who might reply an echo?

        A clear voice appears very near to me:
        "Your call finds an echo in my heart -
        I will come to you!"

        Is it YOU or just my wish which fools me?
        Whatever - all abilities are there
        this is a step - a movement of my wings in flight
