When the world has gone to pieces

 Nanne Nyander





We slumber by the fire of life
when dawn comes upon us.
Stranger there, 
speak to me, 
how did we become two?

What am I,

if not a sign that everything is ok?

What am I, 
if nothing is real?

What am I, 
when the world has gone to pieces, 
what am I?

I’m everything, 
I’m nothing,

I’m the good and the bad.

What am I, 
when nothing is left to fight for, 
what am I?

I am one,

I am one as everything,

I’m nothing.

I am. 

-Nanne Nyander
