a dim Härz
Ds isch es Gedicht wo scho voar längerer Zyt entstande isch, imne Moment wo's mir sehr schlächt gange isch. Es isch nid sehr gschliffe und i hautes nid für bsunders guet, es isch meh äs ehrlechs Gebet woni i däre Form ufgschribe ha, zum mini Gedanke und Gfüu vor Gott abzlegä. Obwoui sprachlech gloub viles dra chönnt ändere, hanis mehrheitlech so la si, wienis ursprünglech verfasst ha, und zGfüu gha dasis möcht teile.
At your heart
Can you keep me safe?
safe when the storm rages in my mind
safe when my thoughts cannot be kind
safe when I’m lost and I can’t be found
Can you keep me safe and sound?
You hold me tight
in darkest night
and when I’m out there on my own
when to no one I am known
you remember
You remember and you hear my plea
you kneel down right in front of me
the tears I cry run down your face
and I see you with me in this maze
a shining light in a gloomy haze
a held out hand
in this dreary land
feet that stand
right next to mine
you turn so that our paths align
Still i crumble, my words a mumble
and my worn out fingers fumble
through the stories in my pocket
they’re like an empty candle socket
lack the fire and the light
remind me that it’s not alright
You say this is how it was planned
and I’m sorry if I misunderstand
but how could this mess be your aim?
didn’t you say you would call me by name?
And if you can’t explain, or not today
at least promise me you’ll stay
Will you carry me home and not let me go?
tell me I am safe because you keep me so?
safe when I run and I’m far from hope
safe when there’s no way I can cope
safe when your promise seems to fall apart
keep me safe here at your heart
