In the Midst of Melancholy


Sun is dawning
Night is falling
Fog is waking
My heart is sinking

Far away
I hear some one
Flute is playing

In the midst
Of this melancholy

Blossoms of your memory
Keeping me fragrant
Making me feel alive
In my heart
Seeding a desire

To see
The sun
Rise again
To feel
The rays
On my face again

Vine of hope
Wrapping me
In its arms
Whispering
Singing me a lullaby
Making me drowsy
Giving me away
In the custody
Of dreams
