a moment outside
Your embrace
Father, a moment outside Your embrace is endless
ages of a bottomless, dark abyss of death!
A moment outside Your embrace is centuries upon
centuries of cold darkness of inhospitable loneliness.
A moment outside Your embrace is dreadful
deadness,
a dead-end prison in the mist of our dreadful
nothingness,
a wild, blind fall into the oppressive, bottomless
chaos of the non-existence of another,
into the dark void of solitary individual loss.
Father, we exist only in Your hands.
Father, we exist only because You will it and only
because You want us.
We exist only because You love us.
But our separation from You is also the torment of
Your Love!
Therefore, we have hope only as long as You love us!
We exist only as Your children.
