Praying Mantis

Yesterday

There was a praying mantis on my window pane

With its cold eyes it stared and waited

Waited and stared again

Today I catched some spiders

To feed my little friend

Today I catched some flies

For the mantis to pray a lullaby

Yesterday

I woke up sitting on his window pane

With my cold eyes I stared and waited

Waited and stared again

And so it catched some spiders

To feed his brand new friend

And so it catched some flies

For me to pray a lullaby

God

Moves in mysterious ways

God

Divine are all your trails

I will lay in my grave

And I will dream of

I will lay in my grave

Dreaming of my praying mantis
