with tears in your eyes
and your arms longing
to embrace me

my hands, shaking
drenched in blood,
touch you for

its muscles, its blood
flowing, its voice
preparing to sing

how wonderful it is
to love and to greet it
as it settles in your soul

only in Your garden
and for the warmth of love
only You can allow him

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
