És (1981)

You Are (1981)
You are the dew that nourishes a rose
You are the rose that beautifies the garden
You are the garden that decorates the meadow
You are the endless radiant field
You are a ray of light in the shadows
You are a soft and faithful carpet
You are the blue mantle of space
You are the arm that connects me to the sky
You are the ideal dream of poetry
That shines in the rhyme of the verse
In the purity of my everyday life
The total secret of the universe
You are the cradle that rocks the newborn child
You are the joyful face of the redeemed soul
You are the step towards the eternal ascent
You are life, my God
You are life
You are the bridge that lies over the abyss
You are the source of the springs
You are the sweet murmur of the waters
In the desert, you are a haven of peace
You who reign above death
You are the strength that supports the cross
You are the north that guides the child
You are the sparkle in Jesus's eyes
You are the ideal dream of poetry
That shines in the rhyme of the verse
In the purity of my everyday life
The total secret of the universe
You are the cradle that rocks the newborn child
You are the joyful face of the redeemed soul
You are the step towards the eternal ascent
You are life, my God
You are life
