The clouds say “I will go”,
the night says “Depart”
The ocean says “The shore nears – I am no more”
Sorrow says “Cry hidden, in the guise of eyeliner”
I say “I want nothing else but to meet”
The world says “Your stars are a garland”
The skies say “For you, thousands of lamps glow”
Love says “Age after age, I’m awake for your sake”
Death says “I am the boat for your life’s crossing”
