“lost dreams and forgotten pleasures,
sold like a soul to a gluttonous world
feeding on my frenzy and anxious activity.
but just when the old heap of bones seems most dry and deserted,
a strong Breath of Life stirs among my dead.
Someone named God comes to my fragments and asks,
with twinkling eye: ‘May I have this dance?’
sold like a soul to a gluttonous world
feeding on my frenzy and anxious activity.
but just when the old heap of bones seems most dry and deserted,
a strong Breath of Life stirs among my dead.
Someone named God comes to my fragments and asks,
with twinkling eye: ‘May I have this dance?’
the Voice stretches into me,
a stirring leaps in my heart,
a stirring leaps in my heart,
lifting up the bones of death."
