From the cycle "Is hope the sister of fear"
Based on the poetry of Franka Lechner and music by Rainer Bischof
 
Nameless

this fear
is a silent animal
nameless
it rests
on the soul
has drunk all the tears

 it was thirsty
tame it may be
when it sleeps
when it wakes
it stands
hungry mouth
in front of the door
and looks....
