I close my eyes and see the world.
And then suddenly open my eyelids,
To discover it.
I open my hand to release the anger,
And suddenly close it then, Of joy!
I open my mouth to feel the silence,
To then slowly close it ,
Whispering the pain.
I touch the darkness, they are all close-lipped,
And my temples feel the languor by the elbow,
Still, I'm contemplating, Majesty!
If I'll ever be out of the temple,
I will not know.
Just my shadow, I won't be then,
By that hour, of that day….
