Wish

A whisper of leaves
Through the night
Crackling in a fireplace
Like a silent call
Hissing world left behind

First petal fallen
Became my cradle
Midnight song of a nightingale
My only lullaby

A whisper of wind
Moon’s silver kiss
Falling star turned to a wish

Among the cold frozen constellations
Beyond the breaking horizon
Where lies all human passion
Melodies and dreams of a calling dawn

Deep in the turquoise sea
In the waves of the ocean
Dark prayer of midnight dream
Little boats still float seeking for pure devotion

A whisper of wind, a call of leaves
Prayer beneath pale moon’s face
Silent crack in a fireplace
One thousand stars silently dwell
For one single dream
For only one wish

” I call for a dream to return. Silence is too loud to scream, nothing left here.
Falling I hear my mother speaks to me.
Sweet care below a fantasy.
Stroke of a wish, memories flow…
I wish I could come back home.”
