      Stars Shining

      Stars shining in front of her face,

      Like a bride’s veil.

      Gleaming with Divine’s love,

      That night when she encounters Him.

      

      At the Peak of Fire

      I didn’t burn at the peak of the fire,

      I’m not drifting by the river.

      Poppies flowers waving in the fields,

      Red for desires, black for death.

      The sound of the shepherd’s flute,

      Music slices my heart.

      By the river of landslides,

      A strong current carried me away.

      Waiting for you,

      Awaken by your love.

      I’m thirsty, floating in the water,

      River currents bring me to you.

      

      Bask in the Light

      Bask in the light of Your solemn splendor,

      I close my eyes and lift my face toward you.

      Johann Sebastian Bach’s Joy

      directs my heart and soul to heaven.

      In the realm of Your presence,

      You filled my world with colors and wonders.

      

      Colors

      All the colors of our skin

      Silky brown skin,

      Smooth porcelain skin Luminous white skin

      Flawless black skin, Distinctive mix colors skin

      All beautiful and radiant!

      The skin colors of our bodies, In God’s eyes,

      We are His children.
