For a distant friend

I would like to be a cloud
hovering over you
and the wind then helps me out
to be so white, fluffy and true...

I would like to be the rain
drops falling douwn on you
being in your dreams deep train
so calmly to sway you to sleep

I would like to be the wind
playing with your dishevelled hair
rattle on your window shutters
and whirl coloured leafs in the air.

I would like to be the sun
and friendly shining in your life,
not to burn but tenderly warm you,
defy against shadows and any storm.

I would like to be a star,
sparkle and glitter in the sky
tiny silver diamond so far,
daredevil and shy.

These things I would like to be
that's true
no more so far away
but closer to you
