2929. I followed you closely
O my vital,I followed you closely.
At the end of your path
What I discovered was frustration.
O my mind,
I followed you closely.
At the end of your path
What I discovered was contradiction.
O my heart,
I followed you closely.
At the end of your path
What I discovered was illumination.
O my soul,
I followed you closely.
At the end of your path
What I discovered was perfection.
It was there that God blessed me
With His most powerful
Reality-Existence-Smile.
