I SHUT MY EYES...

(29/03/02)


I closed my eyes

To understand the hymn

I shut my eyes to hear your voice.

Beyond the darkness of my eyelids

I understood the language

And I with them

too

prayed

to You

my Lord.

I watched your face closely as Pilate kept on questioning You.

You too

my Lord

kept your eyes shut

all the way

through.

I questioned myself

why?

May be it was because

beyond the darkness of Your eyelids

You too

could understand

the incomprehensible talk

that was surrounding

You.

I shut my eyes to talk to you, my Lord.

I shut the world and I switched you.

You irradiated the surroundings;

Your light shed through and through…

I had to shut my eyes to see You.
