Poem: Woman in beauty

When the sun sets beneath its shades, 
Covered by mountains underneath its aims, 
When clouds aloof the awesome sky
Below the earth of arduous rise, 
Then I am a shooting star, 
A releasing arm in a lover's town, 
Where once, I saw her ravened black hair, 
Glimmering with life that only Cano Cristales* could live – poverty in Spirit,
An enemy to villainy,
Woman in beauty, a sage in learning and a Christ in holiness.


* Cano Christales is known as "the river that ran away from paradise" and it is located in northern Columbia

O, Lord of mercy

 O, Lord of mercy Mercy me in my distress! My heart has gone far from you And your light of peace Has escaped my soul! O, bitter is the gall...
