Zenses

these eyes which clearly see,
only see shadows, partial images, dust and ashes;
mere reflections ... I am blind!

these ears which soundly hear,
only hear echoes, random noise, modulated vibrations;
cacophonies ... I am deaf!

these lips that move to speak,
only mouth nonsense, utter prattle, articulate nothing;
spacious double-talk ... I am dumb!

these senses cannot grasp the ineffable nor embrace the infinite!
You are beyond the reason of mere understanding,
I am struck deaf, dumb and blind,
by Your beauty and mystery!

nevertheless, You are in this Heart caressed ...
