Lilac

Tiny Flower
Within thy lilac depth
I see the breathing Universe…
All strength, all wisdom — never changing law.
Infinite Beauty!
Thou art embracing all the power
And the weakness of creation.
In thine embrace I will find ev’rything…
In thee lies hidden all the precious
Knowledge, misteries
Within thy calyx bottomless
Dwells all the vision of the future and the past;
Tiny Flower
Within thy lilac depth
I see the breathing Universe…
Priceful slumber of the child unborn —
And of the ancient man.
Horrors and sorrows — days gone by —
Tomorrows
And peace and beliefs
Waiting for my treacherous kiss
To be disturbed in holy sleep.
Tiny Flower —
I want to become thee
I want to become free
I want to drown myself in thee…
