Giving Away
Text:

I'm not asking You, God, for clean hands

Because I’ve received from You such

Thank You ,God, for the strength

So that I could cleanse my soiled touch

 

I'm unfolding my two clenched hands

Immersing them in rushing flows

Setting all that I‘ve captured free

The silence will stay there for me

 

I'm unfolding my two palms’ shells

All the treasures are Thine

My hands anew empty, divine

Nothing has ever been mine

 

I’m unveiling my two palms’ mirrors

Let them reflect Your glow

Let them transmit Your warmth

To be as above, so below

 

I’m giving You back my cleansed hands

Because I've received from You such

I’m giving out all that is Yours

Yearning for Oneness so much
