Waiting

Somewhere I don’t know! 
The beautiful swan is sailing 
Toward the secret island of Love 
without hailing ..
Sailing 
and sailing 
and sailing ..
 
The poor lovely swan is crying silently and straining 
And over the waves
Neither fearful nor wailing..
She is constantly sailing
There somewhere I don’t know towards the secret garden of Love: 
Sailing 
and sailing 
and sailing ..

But somewhere I know 
Lovely swan! 
I am crying silently too! 
I feel lonely without you! 
And my compass is 
fading and failing ..

Somewhere I know 
Lovely swan! 
My time is getting lost 
and my life is desperately waning .. 

Somewhere too! 
I guess there is no need for us to know! 
The deep blue sea is cold and ailing.. 
Maybe it is crying silently too for the sun to rise above you
and me and above the secret island of Love. 
As for the flying birds 
singing in cages, 
The sky is from time to time raining and “prayingly” waiting for them to look up and say something utterly good! 

Somewhere I don’t know! 
That beautiful swan is sailing 
Toward the secret island of Love 
without hailing ..
Sailing 
and sailing 
and sailing ..

But then the storm keeps a different scenario to make 
For those hearts to break
Before anyone should make
a footprint on the secret island.
Now, isn’t it time to be awake?
