Ignorance

Ignorance, do you think you are
really powerful?
I tell you, you are not.
My heart's cry is infinitely stronger.

Ignorance, stupidity's height,
futility's night,
Do I have to hear from you
How far or how close
My Beloved Supreme is?
I know where He is.
I know who He is.
I know why He is.
Where is He?
He is inside my heart-life.
Who is He?
He is my Eternity's Lord Supreme.
Why is He?
To fulfil Himself in and through me.
