Earlier, I had not seen God at dusk
The morning wore me in work and words,
The savage moments blinded the truth
A black-light caged the soul for songs,
The call of the senses enslaved my heart.
Hurried and worried for uncaring love,
Like a cascade, I fell from the hilltop
Leaped and flung, living a frugal life,
Scared of life as a dreadful dream
Winter emptied the fire in my blood,
Life was silent of voices from my soul
I slipped into the little nest in my heart
Singing of Lord in an untutored way.
My eyes now glow with the stars in the sky
Deeper and deeper into their homes,
My body is strewn as a ring of light
Listening to silence in the space,
The words of wisdom reign in me
Greater is the power of God for inner bliss,
The sunlight is like a fairy with an eternal smile
Never ceased for love in silent hours,
One of His eyes is the sun, the other is the moon
When in-depth, I commune within
Watch the world through its veil,
The body is the outer robe I am a soul
If you confess to Lord arise from Man
You become His friend for timeless Bliss.
