Fire

(dedicated to Kate)

I’m sailing the stellar sea,
All the stars are burning me,
But still darkness creeps in my soul,
Now my only chance is Thou.

Your robe is like a starlight stream,
You shine as You stand, my Queen,
You stand — proud and strong,
And i know You can’t do any wrong,

Still i fear Your piercing sight,
Your burning eyes, full of light,
You can see into my mind,
My weakness, my fright, my false pride.

Yet i hope You have mercy for me,
My shining Sun You will be,
I will look at You in admire,
My eyes will reflect Your fire.
