Sehnsucht
Sehnsucht
What is this feeling, with bitter tastes
A homesickness of my lost fates
How to name this pain that dreams escape
A study of passions I cannot sate
Could this wanderlust unburden the soul
from heavy lead to pure sweet gold
What transformations, what could I be
if not restrained by what I see
How to obscure this overcast,
Shadows and memories of times long past,
To long for truth, not recoil in fear
To cut through fog like silvered spear
I follow Mercury, made thrice great
Through dreams, asleep, yet still awake
I crave, I yearn, I search for meaning
The reasons why my heart keeps beating
