145
I am able to love my God
because He gives me freedom to deny Him.
146
My untuned strings beg for music
in their anguished cry of shame.
147
The worm thinks it strange and foolish
that man does not eat his books.
148
The clouded sky to-day bears the vision
of the shadow of a divine sadness
on the forehead of brooding eternity.
149
The shade of my tree is for passers-by,
its fruit for the one for whom I wait.
150
Flushed with the glow of sunset
earth seems like a ripe fruit
ready to be harvested by night.
151
Light accepts darkness for his spouse
for the sake of creation.
152
The reed waits for his master's breath,
the Master goes seeking for his reed.
