My little piece of sky

In your eyes

I have my little piece of sky;

of Light,

of air in which I can fly,

free,

stripped of the dirty earth within me.

In your eyes

I have the sea;

with waves and currents

that catch me and take me

Far from everything,

but closest to myself.

In your eyes

I have, day by day,

the Resurrection;

with a song of joy,

and I can look

to the Lord

and say like the thief on Friday:

Receive me, Lord, today with You,

and day by day,

and forever,

in the Kingdom!

…for my little piece of sky,

child born of me.
