the song of the earth

do not expect anything
 let yourself live !

 and walk in the opposite direction 
with determination
 since something or someone will cross your way 

and it will always be too much
and  never enough 
and it will always be too late 
and always too soon
 they'll tell you

 and then
 all of a sudden 
as an embroidery on your face
 the day of the smile shall rest 

and that smile will feed you 
and  quench your thirst 

 it will be the song of the earth where you belong 
the land that has memory of you 
always 
 and so be it
