on the other side of the world

[there are other suns besides the one in the sky, cassiel]

...that's what damiel says

zu wissen was kein engel weiss

where are you now?

it was you i was thinking of

it's the way he looks at her

with infinite tenderness and longing

and then ー

and then, she knows, too ー

　no more coincidence.
　the new moon of decision.
　i don't know if destiny exists,
　but decision does exist.
　decide.

and if solveig looked you in the eye and said that to you, what choice would you have?

i believed it

you convinced me of it

and then ー

and then you let go

「lied vom kindsein」

you know, from 「der himmel ueber berlin」

　als das kind kind war
　wusste es nicht, dass es kind war
　alles war ihm beseelt
　und alle seelen waren eins

　als das kind kind war
　stellte es sich klar ein paradies vor
　und kann es jetzt hoechstens ahnen
　konnte es sich nichts nicht denken
　und schaudert heute davor

hear that? stellte es sich klar ein paradies vor

can you hear me?

what do you see?

[to see a world in a grain of sand / and a heaven in a wild flower　ーblake]

ich weiss jetzt, was kein engel weiss

flowers again for your birthday

flowers in the columbarium

sounds nice, doesn't it?

「columba」, latin for 「dove」

a beautiful name for ashes and despair
