And if
And if the moon drinks
from the lips of the river to quench its thirst,
And if it then sinks
to make her shiver and steal her heart.
The ripples on the surface
tell about her pleasure at first,
Then the ripples' pace
grows stronger, creating art.
And if the wind entangles
in the branches of a tree to make it sway,
To make it sing a song
that brings peace and glee.
And if their souls mingle
and they break free from life's play,
Oh, the flowers,
oh, what fruits there will be.
And there's a hearth
inside the cold and calm earth,
Where a seed lays in mirth,
in the sleep of its birth.
There's a concern that comes
when love comes forth,
That if I have to be without you,
then what is my worth?
