Ray

In the corner of my heart I hide,

Hoping that in its depths

I will escape from fear.

My frightened eyes

Rest upon the abyss

From the ceiling

I await the next moment

For blood to gush out −

I close my eyes, just a little

For I feel a caress:

From the crack they saw

Upon my eyes spreads

A courageous ray!

Light and Love.

It does not call out to me,

It does not summon me,

It does not bring me back

Under the wide sky;

It merely settles

Over pain, over passions

Over tears

Beyond words

It speaks to me tenderly

Through the warmth that does not ask

Does not hope, does not fear

It brings solace,

It watches over the path

For me to follow it, with patience

Towards the One who Alone the heart

Knows, penetrates it

From within, silently:

A shock − back to Life.
