Michał Bajor - Chciałbym

I wish I had a net
To weave in it life’s thread
To catch with it the radiant moonlight
Or rosy light at dawn
I wish I had this net
To be caught and kept within so tight

I’d like to live and know
Meadows’ smell, tender hands
Feel on my lips the lock of your hair
Hands to join, eyes to close
Fall into lovely dream
Among grass and blooming flower glare

Live in the seventh heaven
Stay awake when evil sleeps
Hum sweet tunes for you
Compose for you like K.I.

I’d like to give you clear dreams
Morning mist, fragrant blooms
Moths , singing birds and wildlife at night
Summer time, flawless world
Wooden fence, birds in flight
Everything we remember outright

Bach appears in our door
Shakes off snow, gives a tone
Plays for us on icicle keyboard
I wish I’d rhyme on whim
To sing with him a hymn
In praise of morning cold

To have peace in sight
Number the good days only
Forgo any fight
Sing songs for you like K.I.

I wish I had a net
To catch the ill’s boredom
And brighten it with radiant light
Spread good news like bread
Turn the fear into sound
Of great beauty if this net was mine

And I could, if you wish
Thread of life in verse hide
And then I would have you forever
Maybe world will be there
still unchanged, I would like
Catch it in my mysterious net

So each hopeful Spring
Only bright and clear days bring
Give us your blessings
With your ageless pen K.I.
