I d like to see a soul
Not be blinded by eyelashes long.
What does it bear deep inside?
What kind of garden? What kind of song?
I’d like to see the thoughts of a soul.
Is it in all good faith or just a play?
When some soul has turned sour,
I’d read it in the eyes straight away.
I’d give up my false and empty pursuits,
And save my life for important things.
Tended trees would bear their fruits,
And not just stand in a garden of dreams.
