Eye By Odnono Translation

i'll shove heart wide open [no ties!],
mop away uneasiness, doubt,
will breathe in truth instead of lies,
joy instead of greed breathe out loud.

soul'd  turn into a spacious house  
with no ceiling, walls, floors to mop,
no protection against burglars -
it's open, with no doors or locks.

lamp's like in temple so needy  
a lighthouse for those in the dark,  
they - with their kindness too greedy -
like us once would pass this benchmark  .

i'd want my heart to fit inside  
universe of unearthly round  
dance of eternal souls and try  
widening sky dome with low sound.

in immense home with no guests [word!]
uninvited, noone's here in vain,  
not on good people rests the world  
but on those happy in the rain.  

let birds, ghosts, planets and people  
spin round in such beautiful dance - 
you've come to enjoy life's sequel,
smile! to be free there's one chance.

it's important for heart to grace  
through melancholy and dark spite,
behind  contempt and lack of faith  
a spark in everyone of light,

for an eye in chest to unwind  
with not a blink bravely to lead  
and with its deep look - no more blind! -
to heal, foster, save and to heat.
