When You Became My Heaven

You woke me from the deep sleep of darkness,

And gave me a life full of colors.

You gave me the sky for my wings,

And a nest on the branch of your soul tree.

 

In a small flower and a soft breeze,

I can feel your fragrance;

It is you, You yourself.

 

When life flows like a river,

Every single drop in it is you.

Where can I find another river like this?

 

Who else can make a sky,

When you have already made one,

With the kind petals of compassion?

 

When a little nightingale sings,

When a soft song from streams fades,

When a stone in a dream becomes sweet,

When time itself begins to fade.

 

I have placed my heart in your heart.

I find a safe place in you.

I can never leave your soul.

I cannot separate from your soul.

 

Even if heaven calls me,

I cannot go.

When I melt and fall

Into the flames of your soul,

That is my heaven.

My heaven is when I burn in you.

 

The eternal truth is this, I dissolve in you.
