Zwischenland

Song Cycle by Katharina Weber (b. 1958)

1. Zwei Welten  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich schwebe in zwei Welten.
Meine zweite Welt öffnet sich,
wenn andere Schlaf suchen.
Meine Gedanken leben,
wenn ich sie in meiner Stimme
ihre Worte suchen lasse.
Mitten in Nacht und Stille
werden die Gedanken zu Worten.
Ich lebe in zwei verschiedenen Welten.
Jede kennt die Gedanken der anderen.
Ich werfe die Samen aus,
die diese Welten erblühen lassen:
die Worte und Taten im Licht des Tages,
die Gedanken in der Finsternis.
Der Schlaf löscht das Licht des Tages.
Ich werde im Traum
die Gestalten erkennen.
