Essential nourishment

As the tree when it sleeps in winter

I want to sleep

As the tree when it wakes in the spring

I want to wake

Close my petals at the night

Like a flower

Open my blossoms at the first rays

Like a rose

Let me rest Lord

Don’t chastise

Relent

The rest I need

To be reborn

Is necessary

Otherwise my life

I will loose

Otherwise my faith

Will wither

Flowers are born morning

And at sunset they die

People are born from water

And if not watered

They die of thirst

They thirst after You

Their sap of life

With which You fill chalices

On your table

Blood thirsty are our souls

Every day

Hungry are our bodies

For the bread of Your’s

Sprinkle our porous lips

From your throne

Let us sup on the sweetness

Of Your Heart daily

If we knew Who is waiting for us

In the temples we build with our hands

And are empty now

The lines would be never ending

By their doors

Everyone would stand

And beg…

And receive
