SIMPLY SOPHIA

    Transparency

    Lord free us from the dangerous game of transparency

    There are no corals or shells on the sea floor of our soul

    Just a smothered dream

    And we don’t really know what dreams are

    Silent conductors faint songs

    Which one day suddenly appear

    On the broad flat patio of disasters

The navigators

Multiplicity makes us drunk

Astonishment leads us on

With daring and desire and calculated skill

We’ve broken the limits – 

But the one God                                                                  

Keeps us from straying 

Which is why at each port we cover with gold

The sombre insides of our churches
