I wish, I were a Child, 2004
To which excuse have I come again?
Like an errant wind, like a burning fire
Like still water, like cold earth

So where is the essence of being?
What should I learn from?
Who do I break ties with?
What should I love?
I wish, I were a Child
The lonely tree is wishing
Its childish sincerity and purity
Water, clear water
Air, fresh air
Earth, warm earth
Breath, a deep breath for its roots
Life, a repeatable life
Again my fruits
Will be the fruit of the truth...
