On a dark night,
along an upward path,
who came
with a light in hand?

I cannot see Your beauty
nor recognise Your voice.

I nonetheless understand
that You are ever accompanying me.

You join broken hearts,
You bring flood into dry fields,
and You fulfil exhausted hope
by the sweet look of Your eyes.

Colour my life
with the colour of Your ever new ideation.

Engage me in Your work,
and fulfil my hopes.
