Tonight above me gleams the first shiny star
where God is somewhere beyond eternity
and in longing you are too far away from me,
while you and I are locked-down in space and time
but I want you to know about my love
while more stars shine above me in the heaven,
I want you to know that nothing can measure the depth of it,
even if our days feel dangerous and dark
and where now we do exist away from each other,
I believe days of brightness will come again.
Even if it feels as if life goes on purposeless
and even if this virus is suddenly everywhere disguised
God do hold you and me and everything in His hand,
He brings His love and us in connection with each other.
