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...
