650. God came to visit
YesterdayGod came to visit
My heart-home.
Alas, I missed Him.
I was out playing
With my all-challenging bull.
Today
Again God has come to visit
My heart-home.
Alas,
I am missing Him again.
I am already out feeding
My all-ignorance horse.
Alas, alas!
But tomorrow
If God comes to visit
My heart-home,
He will definitely find me.
And I shall immediately compensate
By devotedly offering Him
My ignorance-devouring lion.
