Fireflies 145 - 152 [German translation]

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.
