Three Prayers
                                                                             
                while waiting for Thee, Mother

 2

                While I was waiting for Thee before Thy Blessings,
                Before my eyes would come near to Thine,
                I prayed:

                Mother, let my eyes lie still like those ttanquillakes
                In my Tatty Mountains,
                Immobile, spread before the Lord,
                Crystal mirrors waiting...
                Will He permit an offering to Him of His own face?

                And then, when the Lord will come through Thy eyes all loving
                To stoop over these two lakes of calm,
                He will perceive Himself in their humble felicity.
                And the Lord will be pleased,
                And He will smile
                Seeing His own eyes looking at Him.
