by Mišel Boltres

The Lord is also this evening
Like thousands before...
Above our heads
Spilled the night ink...
Painted the firmament
And everything went dark...
Time to pray
Silence and silence...
“Who am I and where am I?”
“Where are all my days going?”
“Help me Lord to understand,
How to be a man!”
