| good | |
| he tells me | for what has been taken |
| the heart moves | for what is left |
| for what has been given | |
| moves like the ocean | |
| sometimes a mountain | a nation for what is right |
| constantly in greeting | the dearly loved |
| what he always wanted | |
| his words | |
| my pulse the same | from the edge |
| surprises | of her seat |
| a woman leans forward | |
| tremble | |
| hold back | holds |
| rush forward | a breath |
| time waits | |
| washed always | |
| in silence | the woman breathes out |
| silence for what is not | whish of wind |
| essence of man | |
| dark and light | |
| rublato of being | |
| becomes being again |
