Let me stay a little longer
Let me stay a little longer
In the satin-coloured light of a painting,
Where the eyes of the maidens are pure and indulgent.
Let me stay a little longer
In the stillness of the eternal instant of a picture,
Where the past and future are irrelevant and false.
Let me stay a little longer
In the soft intrigues of a playful tune,
Where the notes lead the mind through rain and sun.
Let me stay a little longer
In the sweet brightness of a laugh,
Where the soul expands and scatters.
Let me,
For it is then
That I feel embraced,
Reaching.
