THE SLEEPING MAN IS BLESSED
What would a man buried alive do?
Try with all his strength to breathe the sun again, of course.
Your hands, your feet, your eyes,
your every word and
thought,
there is
not one waking
second
the soul pounding against the cage of the body
does not want God
to rush into its lungs.
The sleeping man is blessed with
a faith that is not
active.
Faith as it ripens turns into an almost insatiable appetite,
and the awake lion must prowl for God
in places it once
feared.
