Zywa Journey through the desert

We've only just left
or I'm already longing to return
My life is an unpredictable journey

always on the same roads
The familiar road stations gleam
at a distance, purer than on the spot:

valleys of love, wonder, and knowledge
which I love to visit, and excitedly

leave quickly at the tinkle
of the bells of the caravan
of my needs

I wander between their oases
Only in the void do I find
what my soul yearns for
