Sometimes the sun is covered in clouds
Grey, cold and unrelenting
Sometimes all the light of the world 
				seems to be drained
Through an invisible hole.

In moments as these, my heart is gripped by despair
For, robbed of its treasure most precious – 
That all-conquering joy only found in Your arms – 
It lies on the ground, bleeding and panting.

”Eloi, Eloi, lama sabactani?”
”My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” – 
Can there ever be a more terrible cry
Coming from the lips of man?

But death, though expected, and almost yearned for, 
				does not yet come. 
I keep lying there, lost in darkness 
Deafened by the cruel laugh of complete loneliness.
An eternity passes, but only for my inner self 
				– the other one untouched.

And then, out of the blackest night, 
A ray shines: a light small at first, but so strong
That it shatters the darkness 
And scatters the clouds.

My eyes are again opened
They can rest on Your face once more!
O, what a blessing! To drink of Your smile 
			and feast on Your love – 
As they feel stronger than ever before!
