AGATE BEADS OF HAPPINESS
AGATE BEADS OF HAPPINESS
The tears have dried up
The lines have lost their rhyme
The taste of life is slipping away
But I'm still looking for you
I wake up at night
I call you without words
I beg you, just a little,
Be brave, don't be afraid to try
You'll feel my piercing rays
I'm running through new and unbroken lines,
of my relentless writing,
And day by day I string them together like threads,
I string together the words that call to you, the enchanting cascade of words.
Agate beads of happiness.
But you're still not there.
Wake up at last and take pity,
I've come to sleepless nights because of you.
Instead of my beloved, hugging my pillow,
I'm not tired of going a little crazy,
Maybe it's because I'm tired of life,
Or maybe it's because
I'm in a cloud of barren feelings
If you don't love, don't love
Don't want it, don't want it
But give me a smile to say goodbye,
And let me wish for one thing
That you'll be lucky enough to find
Your love, your sorrow...
