Danae in the Tower

Sacred

A tower towering in isolation in a strange space

Only the vertical starlight

I can see the face

As if a flowering branch swaying in mid-air

To be close to your heart

He must become lighter than air

To change his shape to be near you

To repay those days and nights of longing

He must become rain

And merge with yours

The rivers of the earth flow endlessly

The fountains of the sky

Still laments in his golden regret

Just then, your longing lips rise

To join the rain

As if the great sun

Falling into your arms, he disappears

And she is already intertwined with all things
