In The Eye Of A Child

Oh my Friend!
So many people would like us to react, to judge, to be against!
They should look at You!
Because You speak to their hearts!

Oh my Friend!
You play with us!
Indeed You play with our egos, putting egos against egos in a sterile confrontation!
All of us! Repent!

In the heart of the night,
Bats are flying chanting Your equilibrium,
And I am contemplating Your unseeable veils!

In the eye of a child,
I see Your shadow, my Lord!
In the eye of a dog,
I see my eye crushed to ashes by love for my Master!
