Beauty on Water by Torgny Lilja Here I am sitting in the summer heat With evening shadows on my sunburnt face, While in bikini, cooling her bare feet Or from a leaning pose, she shows true grace. Whenever I am resting by the stream, These waves are slowly whispering to my ear... Like costly jewels, I can watch them gleam From many miles away, or very near. At dusk, they still reflect some kind of light And then begin to spread the morning glow, When dawn withdraws the curtains of the night. From well-known places, where the waters flow Forever, our souls will soon be gone, But for a while we have to carry on. The Woman in Blue Exile Years On the Dance Floor
