Never Before

Never before the full moon shone so lively
As this morn in the cold night.
Still the fear to lose clamps itself
Onto my heart and upper-arms
That cannot hold what is not given. 

Deep from within my heart still shines 
A new light of knowing:
My will and strength hold it not.
„What God has given to us, 
no man can take away.”
I see and scent the blossom without plucking.

How do You reach so quietly into my core?
How did You see what covers the light?
If not for love. 

I still don't move, dare almost not to breath,
Not to chase away what is the miracle to me.
It is, and it is still not over ...
 
I take my hands off and look
Upon the miracle,
That births itself with each new day.
You come to stand with me and say to me:
„Come, behold with me”.
And I truly don't know what I ever liked more!

The crystal pearls from my eyes
I offer You on my cheeks,
As thank.
