Lilac (2023) - Uli Jon Roth

Tiny Flower

Within thy lilac depth

I see the breathing Universe…

All strength, all wisdom — never changing law.

Infinite Beauty!

Thou art embracing all the power

And the weakness of creation.

In thine embrace I will find ev’rything…

In thee lies hidden all the precious

knowledge, misteries

Within the calyx bottomless

dwells all the vision of the future and the past;

Priceful slumber of the child unborn —

and of the ancient man.

Horrors and sorrows — days gone by­ -

tomorrows

And peace and beliefs

Waiting for my treacherous kiss

to be disturbed in holy sleep.

Tiny Flower

I want to become thee

I want to become free

I want to drown myself in thee…
