EMET

Oh life, Oh world
this hugeness
this anarchy
devouring my soul

solemn, hidden force
now quietly, now stormy
sinking wills and destinies
down whirlpools of moans

Now I see you,
in this body of mine
consumed by torment,
I question you, I wonder
heartbroken, exhausted,
worn out from crying

How? When? Why?

I hate you
with all my soul's might,
I would rip you, claw like
out of my chest
and with blasphemies
curse your name

I scream, with a tongue of fire
my anger,
exhausting anguish
torment of mine

Yet, in front of the vastness
of horizons and chasms
I sense my limit,
my being finite

I stretch my arms out, breath
astonished, admire
the mystery occurring
before my eyes

A child is born, another dies
carrying on like this, relentless
the macabre dance
from the leaf of grass
to the ray of sunlight

And there I lay, between alpha and omega
in this mystery
anomaly among the stars
glad for being alive
even briefly,
a moment,
few second
in the world's history.
