Chapter 20 20

276 The lights during the assembly were lit for a long time, and when they parted, the lights went out immediately. 277 When I die, O world, in your silence, keep for me "I have loved" This sentence. 278 We live in this world while we love it. 279 Let the dead have that immortal name, but let the living have that immortal love. 280 I see you as the half-awake child sees its mother in the twilight of dawn, and Smiled and fell asleep. 281 I will die and die to know that life is endless. 282 I saw you coming from the balcony when I was walking the road with the crowd

smile, I sing, forgetting all the noise. 283 Love is life full, like a wine glass full of wine. 284 They light their own lamps and sing their own words in their monasteries. But the birds sing your name in your morning light - for your name is is happy. 285 Lead me to your silent center and fill my heart with song. 286 Let those who choose their own world of fireworks, live there. My heart longs for your stars, my God. 287 Around my life the pain of love sings like a raging sea, and the joy of love But they sang like birds in a forest of flowers. 288 If you like, you can turn off the lights.

I will understand your darkness, and love it. 289 When I stand before you at the end of that day, you will see my scars, and Know that I have my many wounds, but also my healing. 290 Someday I'll sing to you in the morning light of another world: "I used to be on Earth In the light of my soul, in the love of man, I have seen you.
