Like a Life-giving Sun
You could become a great warrior
And help to free yourself and the world
Though only if you in prayer become sweet lovers.
It is a naïve human being who thinks we are not engaged in a fierce battle,
For I see and hear brave foot soldiers all around me going mad.
Falling on the ground in excruciating pain.
You could become a victorious warrior
And carry your heart through this world like a life-giving sun
Though only if you and God become sweet Lovers!
