.
In the black night
I look at the stars.
Through blackest faith
I see into heaven.
The kernel of light
that broke at sunset
in the black night
buds and flowers.
.
In the black night
my steps are in dew.
The tears of the night
bring vision renewed.
All I have lost
to see your dark face
in the black night
turns to gold.
.
In the black night
my heart crucified
sparkles like ice
in infinite sky.
Boundless the night
is a temple of God.
In its expanse
there is peace.
.
In the black night
I wait to be born.
The night is a womb
that opens at dawn.
Around unseen
on the distant hills
are blazing fires
of morning.
