Distant Shine

Sterne 

Ach, ihr Sterne,
versteckt euch nicht
und schickt mir euer helles Licht.
In dunkler Einsamkeit der Nacht,
so ist es mir,
als leuchtet ihr
alleine aus der Ferne nur
für mich
					 (Zittau, 8. Januar 2014)

Distant Shine

Stars,
Ah, ye stars, 
please do not hide
and send me your bright light. 
In darkest loneliness of night 
it is to me 
that you are shining 
from a distance 
just only for me

It's nice to see this one. It's not recent, but new to me. I love your bleeding heart. How the stars are in your eyes, and more.... A huge hug... Wish you would come back... xox~ Linda
