Song for Nobody


A yellow light
(Light and spirit)
Sings by itself
For nobody.

A golden spirit
(Light and emptiness)
Sings without a word
By itself.

Let no one touch this gentle sun
In whose dark eye
Someone is awake.

(No light, no gold, no name, no color
And no thought :
O, wide awake!)

A golden heaven
Sings by itself
A song for nobody.


Thomas Merton ( A memory Vision of Thomas Merton , Song for Nobody, by Ron Seitz.)
