LXVII

 You always stand alone beyond the stream of my songs.

 

The waves of my tunes¹ wash your feet but I know not how to reach them.

 

This play of mine with you is a play from afar.

 

It is the pain of separation that melts into melody through my flute².

 

I wait for the time when your boat crosses over to my shore and you take my flute into your own hands.
