started seeking you

since i started seeking you i have lost

all my love for looking for pleasures
that this world may give; hence i come to you
so frequently like a little girl running to her dad

not that i seek for wealth or fame

nor that i ask for life that is long
but your presence to wrap me
to keep me warm when the world is cold

now that i serve you to re-fix that earlier balance

you made in moulding, with names, human souls
from that abysmal chaos;
cover me with that word you have told

when i have offended someone

who considers himself more important;
for i lack very much that bold inner garment
i should constantly wear

not that i want to be remembered

when i am dead!
for your sake i have already released
all my wants, except your presence

and to be remembered in your memory

that i may glide into your being
the only authentic living
