To the Divine
Poem by Anna Keiko

Oh, God!
Have you abandoned me?
I am your devout child,
Forever safeguarding the original intention you bestowed upon me.
Every time I wake up,
It's like the sun awakening the darkness.
I am grateful for this new day.
I am the one waiting for the black cloth to be lifted.
In your love,
I walk barefoot.
That is the protective garment you've given me.
I'm not afraid to step into any darkness.
Why have you taken it away?
I need you, I need you!
Right now, it's so dark.
I'm wrapped in twelve layers of clothing,
Yet my breath is still frozen,
And every pore is pierced by the cold wind.
The evil winds and rains are striking again.
Please, don't let the wicked
Snatch me away from your grasp.
Oh, my God! My beloved one!
Come back!
Enter the heart of your child.
Please, don't leave again.
