Literature Text

I´ll never see the next sunrise

never feel again how moonlight floods my skin

see how light refracts sparkling in dewdrops,
and illuminates the shadow of eternal silence at the cemetery,
for a couple of seconds

listen, in awestruck quietness,
to the chant of the birds in the earliness of morning

lie in the green grass and think about nothing
and everything
and fly towards the open skies

marvel at the unreal blue sky,
in blistering midday heat

walk across the harvested cornfields
in cool november mists

catch the last leaf of this year

feel the first snowflakes tickle my tongue,
and let the ice flowers sparkle

stand on top of a skyscraper
and feel mighty
immortal

Never again.

There will be a new morning
the sun will rise again
and extinguish darkness
cause light always returns

But it will return
Without me

They didn´t watch me leaving
and I passed away
in the first rays of the rising morning sun
it´s always life and death, isn´t it
