17

O Divine Lover,

if You come to me

in the night

or visit me in the day

You will find no violence,

only footsteps of peace.

I want to be the apple of your eye.

I want to be hidden in the shadow of your wings.

Swords and slayings surround me;

I trust you to depose them

or leave them to their own devices

for I shall find safety

in Your power.
