While I am standing still
I prefer the stillness here
I am tired of earth
these people...
I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives...
They claim their labors are to build a heaven,
yet their heaven is populated with horrors...
perhaps the world is not made
perhaps nothing is made...
a clock, without a craftsman
It's too late.
Always has been.
Always will be.
Too Late

“Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.”

Aurinko kun päätti retken
siskoistaan jäi jälkeen hetken
päivänsäde viimeinen.
Hämärä jo metsään hiipi,
päivänsäde kultasiipi
juuri aikoi lentää eestä sen,
kun menninkäisen pienen näki vastaan tulevan,
se juuri oli noussut luolastaan.
Kas menninkäinen ennen päivänlaskua ei voi
milloinkaan elää päällä maan.

Katselivat toisiansa,
menninkäinen rinnassansa
tunsi kummaa leiskuntaa.
Sanoi: "Poltat silmiäni,
mutt' en ole eläissäni
nähnyt mitään yhtä ihanaa!
Ei haittaa vaikka loisteesi mun sokeaksi saa
- on pimeässä hyvä asustaa.
Käy kanssani niin kotiluolaan näytän sulle tien
- ja sinut armaakseni vien!"

Säde vastas: "Peikkokulta,
pimeys vie hengen multa
enkä toivo kuolemaa.
Pois mun täytyy heti mennä,
ellen kohta valoon lennä
niin en hetkeäkään elää saa!"
Niin lähti kaunis päivänsäde, mutta vieläkin,
kun menninkäinen yössä tallustaa,
hän miettii miksi toinen täällä valon lapsi on
ja toinen yötä rakastaa.
