What Hurts The Soul
We tremble, thinking we’re to dissolve into nonexistence,
but nonexistence fears even more that it might be given human form!
Loving God is the only pleasure.
Other delights turn bitter.
What hurts the soul?
To live without tasting the water of its own essence.
People focus on death and this material earth.
They have doubts about soul water.
These doubts can be reduced!
Use night to wake your clarity.
Darkness and living water are lovers.
Let them stay together.
When merchants eat their big meals and sleep
their dead sleep, we night thieves go to work.
Midnight, but your forehead shines with dawn.
You dance as you come to me and curl by curl undo the dark.
Let jealousy end.
