You have within you a spiritual gift.
Which was given to you when the prophets spoke .
You can be saved from all drift.
The future is not hidden by some impenetrable cloak.

It can come in any moment.
Today a butterfly landed on my book.
A Red Admiral for a second freed from movement.
I scarcely had time to look.

We do not have to think hard about this.
We do not have to take great care on how we advance.
The spiritual moment need not be bliss.
But in nature pierces like a Lance .

The butterfly’s orange black tints are gone now.
But a thought remains as it rests on another bough.

A butterfly lands
A spiritual moment
But it is soon gone
