Solace

The Angel takes me by the hand

He came to tell me

That the Light does not extinguish

It does not disappear,

It does not burn you when it touches you

When the heart fears

It cries from pain

It breaks, but the Light

Welds wound, scar

Does not let it corrupt

I turn towards the Gentle One

Knees and head to the ground

I gather the scattered pieces

In prayer

Hands clasped to the chest

Too proud to dedicate

Life towards Eternal Serenity

Where any injustice

In humility

Turns into kindness

Tears wash away the gathered mist

Settled over my eyes

Drives away much sadness

The Angel

And the Mother who listens to me

Being pierced by fears

By a hidden suffering

Mercy is my obedience

With Christ

Making me similar

Help me to dedicate myself

To build for Your Glory

In Your will, a devotion

My breath

Be it joy, be it trial

Turn my gaze quickly

To You when nature

Shapes my downfall

In weakness

My faith weakens

As in Heaven, so let it be for me

Love for an eternity

A sacrifice, a smile, a song

Forgiveness

Rest in the holy dwelling
