‘you Rise The Water Unfolds’

Rating: 2.7


You rise the water unfolds
You sleep the water flowers

You are water ploughed from its depths
You are earth that takes root
And in which all is grounded

You make bubbles of silence in the desert of sound
You sing nocturnal hymns on the arcs of the rainbow
You are everywhere you abolish the roads

You sacrifice time
To the eternal youth of an exact flame
That veils Nature to reproduce her

Woman you show the world a body forever the same
Yours

You are its likeness.

another translation: As You Rise As you rise waters unfold As you lie down the waters spread You are the water led from its depths You are the earth taking root On which all things are built You shape globes of silence in the desert of sounds You sing nightly hymns on the ropes of rainbow You are everywhere you annul all roads You sacrifice time To the eternal youth of the exact flame Veiling nature reproducing it Woman you give birth to a body always the same Your own You are resemblance.
