WATERLILY

waterlily waterlily
lily risen from the earth’s interior

what is it with the world
that you so willingly are stretched by

what is it with the light
that you so willingly are woken by

what is with the dark
that you so willingly are closed by

one day deep is your good night
one night deep is your good day

waterlily

NØKKEROSE

NØKKEROSE

nøkkerose nøkkerose
rose reist fra jordas indre

hva er det med verden 
som du så villig lar deg strekke av

hva er det med lyset
som du så villig lar deg vekke av

hva er det med mørket  
som du så villig lar deg lukke av

en dag dyp er ditt godnatt
en natt dyp er ditt goddag

nøkkerose
Close

WATERLILY

waterlily waterlily
lily risen from the earth’s interior

what is it with the world
that you so willingly are stretched by

what is it with the light
that you so willingly are woken by

what is with the dark
that you so willingly are closed by

one day deep is your good night
one night deep is your good day

waterlily

WATERLILY

waterlily waterlily
lily risen from the earth’s interior

what is it with the world
that you so willingly are stretched by

what is it with the light
that you so willingly are woken by

what is with the dark
that you so willingly are closed by

one day deep is your good night
one night deep is your good day

waterlily
