Students of the Instant

When did I forget? I don't remember.

When did I start fighting, if I have always been peace?

When did I lose my mind, if I was always chasing myself?

Because there was a day when I said: I'll rest.

There was a time when I fell asleep.

I entered the dark cave, ruled by my laziness.

God, help me, I said, in the gloom.

I needed Him everywhere.

I searched, I made Him up, I questioned Him.

The shadow of the night that covered me was the nightmare I was dreaming.

Until, in a melody of colors, dawn breaks.

The sun warms my face through the window.

God opens His eyes and breathes in silence.

The heart beats, the lips smile and a song rings out.
