" MEDITATION "

(poetry)    

Fátima Queiroz     

If the soul remains silent to the calls of the meat 

It also remains silent the chimeras of the Earth 

Of the waters, of the air, of imaginations 

It silences the language, rituals, traditions. 

If to the world and the matter has overcome 

Hearing the Verb even through himself 

The thought reaching the eternal wisdom 

The Divine Joy the man would find.      

  The hearts taken a bath by the water of Your Source 

They become purified and they rise to the pick of the hill 

From where the soul undoes your obscurity 

Through Your Light to the eternal happiness.

    Oh!  My God !. We know that is as death to leave of being 

What before was, to be again and to see

Discovering the Road, the Truth, the Life and the Love

Exterminating the lies, hate, suffering and pain.
