There’s no more hiding
behind curtains of
magic vines
bearing golden grapes
Eternity awaits
while I’m dying
from the inner conflict
called Life
Golden grape, awaken me
from this Dream on Earth
Give birth within me
to a Child
mistaken for Sanity
Words fail me
while Wisdom does not
Do not forsake me
I’m flying
No more hiding
