Contemplation
April 22, 1991
Every morning a window opens and the sky overflows
in the chambers of my soul
with the sun rushing into my heart,
and I feel as though I am reborn
in the light to utter these words:
I am the one who was born
with memories of yesterday,
with hope for tomorrow.
No ray falls on the forehead like
it fell yesterday,
no tree has as many leaves as yesterday,
even your voice doesn't vibrate
with the intensity
it had yesterday.
Let me lose myself in Your soothing light,
In today's jungle
I want to lose myself
on the river that carries me
with tempestuous waves
towards the West,
where my peace of mind will be eternal...
