I long to sing the song of the sun;
Run wild barefooted on the sun-dried grass;
Pluck and suck on the sun-kissed berries
Until my lips turn into dark budding roses.
I want my vision filled with sunsets
That can turn the entire sky lilac.
I want to hold the sun in my bosom
And warm my tired heart enough
Such that when Winter comes,
Its icy fingers cannot put out the fire within me.
