Novalis
Banished Bridge
It was a summer day - people let
Themselves touch by the nature
They were kissed by the sky and the air
Is sparkling promise
Every grain, every grass, every leaf
Loved them -
But they all passed by...

And behind the corner by the bridge
Over the river it appeared in it's complete
Splendour for all to see

They came together forward to the
Bridge - for all to see -
They came together forward to the
Banished bridge

Just a little girl crossed happy the brink
Steps on the bridge to see what it is

The people screamed: "It's dangerous!"
But they all didn't see
They heard her singing - chirping
And cheerful -
Now I'm released - I don't go back!
I'm in the light -

Oh, people come - but you have to carry
Your faces

They stamped and run across to the
Bridge, were they supposed to get happiness
They hurried to smell the
Endless light

What's all about? It's dark - not clear

They see themselves
Oh, what a fright - and fear, great fear
Sinks down
The run back -
Possessed by the old...

THE FIRST KNOWLEDGE

I feel silence and love - so deep
So warm and clear
My eyes see the land between good and
Bad and I see a lot of people
Lonely and empty - why don't they hear
My calling?
