"Clean down the tables with wet sponges! Rouse
Yourselves! And when...

with child's tenderness in eyes
yellow winged angel's unwary,
He was living quiet in skies.
Without disputes, without roughness,

He was dreaming among heartless
building cloud castles alone.
He was waking up...

The True Mother

What part of a heart
in another could one trust
