A Lie

O Lord, where has it fallen,

I cannot see-

O Lord, where has it gone,

I look for it-

It disappeared once,

when I was deep in my sleep-

forlorn, fluttering-

it flew away.

Where has it gone-

In your temple I search,

I find nothing-

In the midst of nothingness,

a whiteness I see.

It disappears again, just like before-

when I am deep in my sleep.

It flies away.

But laughter, I can hear-
