Tämä on pisin koskaan kirjoittamani runo. Tai onhan tämä melkein runoelma. Pituus johtunee osittain siitä, että se on jaettu viiteen osaa. Nightwishillä lienee samanniminen kappale, tosin kuulin asiasta vasta jälkeenpäin.
Mutta, matkaan siis!
Wonderlust
Proloque
Long ago, someone dear left me behind
I feel now in my heart, that one I must find
again, for my love I feel for her
Where she is, I’ll journey there
I’ll cross the seas, I’ll pass the forests
Before I found her, my soul will not rest
Thus spoke ghost in my dream:
”Thou will find thy final redeem
Crossing the ocean where thy love and hope lives
You’ll see it’s hard task to done, but remember what it gives”
Now I’m ready to go find answer
for question <<How to reach her?>>
Part I Finding the Question
My place is there where she is
right by her side, it feels
Throught the shadows of deepest woods
lurking beneath the darkest hoods
Walking over the highest hills
but nothing I saw in the furthest fields
I feel her essence, but not here
somewhere far away, I fear
am I seeking my star too close?
Higher to the skies I must rise
Everything so dear is never too close
Higher to endless bluesky I have to rise
to reach my dreams I need to fly
so high my hand can reach stars of the sky
So I walked further, where I never roamed before
I found new kingdoms, and castles much more
But never found my dear darling, though very hard I seeked
Can I ever find my dear, please answer for me?
Then came messenger of morning in form of little sparrow
Joyfully it flew upon us like an arrow
Little bird led us to the shores of great ocean of eternity
and pointed its’ wing over the mighties sea
”If love is what thou seek, I was send
by one who waits for thee to come, so do not spend
thine life with wandering here and there
because what thou love dwells not here
You shall found it where my wing leads
Across the ocean you must travel, that is all you need”
Part II Across the Ocean of Eternity
Three ships left familiar homehaven behind
There is countless of worlds to find
but surely one of them is above all others
That one where my dream, I think, it lures
where I will finally meet her
First three days and first three nights
sea was smoothglassblue, sky upon us was bright
wind was too strong to give goodspeed for our sails
Fast we were when we sailed with the whales
But journey was just on the way
Across the ocean of eternity
to where my dream will be and I can see
it and feel it as in awake
I just have to get over this great, deep lake
Dark clouds begun to gather upon us in the sky
wind hardened, tearing off our sails, making them fly
Lightnings stroke all around our ships
Slashing the ocean like infernal whips
angry kiss from the Heaven’s lips
Sea was storming, casting waves all over
our boats and wind raised powerful shower
Then night was dark but shining sunrise
revealed frightening mournful sight
only one of three survived
Six days and six nights after beginning
empty hrizon started it’s filling
Finally we reached new continent
much suffered mut still too joyful for lament
It was time to rise from the boat and then on the ground descend
Part III Dreamland Buried In Ashes
On the shores of new land
Where I now stand on the sand
Wathching all around me
finding even one sight of thee
On the horseback again journey shall go on
seeking thee is my holy quest, it have be done
But this world is unknown for us to walk
with nature one of us must talk
One light blow to flute
and little bird came, so cute
”I know what is thy task, please follow
said familiar sparrow”
I followed that little sparrow who asked me to follow
It led me to my love, but I can’t describe all it sorrow
what was in my sight. Burned village of my bride
all dear burned in ashes, this grief I cannot hide
Dreamland is now buried in ashes
My long lost love passed away... from me
My tears strikes me like thousand lashes
I cry alone my pain, I miss so much thee
This journey ended sadly, but not pointless
Finally my soul and heart may rest, yet alone
I will now stay here close to my mistress
even though she is dead and done
Epiloque
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
thou hast gone now
I have to honor thy memory
but how?
One red rose I found
from the deadwhite ground
I’ll bring it to thy grave
and try to be brave
when I lay it upon thee
and say:
”Farewell my love, wait for me”
Mutta, matkaan siis!
