An ocean away from me
you ask about longing
rockets of rage fall like in the past
another struggle during the summer
with a well known end
an ocean away from you i find comfort at the Sea of Galilee1
and despite our situation
i want so much now
to sit with you and not to be afraid
Like a land cut into two pieces
separated by water
family and children and life and life
Kilometers away from me
you ask about deceit
losing feeling, not feeling pain
my body is no longer in contact with my heart
an ocean away from you, children losing their home
to live or to die
considering carefully
what have we already gained and what will we lose
And time will not repair us
our fears, our dreams
so i won't fly with the wind
but i will leave one window open
Like a land cut into two pieces...
