LOVE Among a thousand lambs You are a golden sheep Among the rivers that gurgle, You are my living water. Among all the living flowers - You are the flower of others more beautiful. Among all my fairy tales You are the only one more truthful than others. Thousands of lights are burning, You are the fire in me burning. You are my sweetest poison. It struck me on the spot.
