The first 76 lines.
Mother.
You walked with me then.
In the silence.
Before there was a world.
Before night or day.
Alone in the stillness.
Where nothing was.
Mother.
Where are you?
Where have you gone?
I fear.
Full of trouble.
A riddle to myself.
Am I not your child?
Who are you?
Life giver.
Light bringer.
Mother.
Born.
Now.
I am.
Life.
Restless.
Unsatisfied.
I thirst.
Light.
Dark.
Speak with me.
What am I?
Where?
Who brought me here?
Oh mother.
Abyss of light.
All beholding.
Blazing.
Shining through all time.
I touch you.
You burn with fire.
I tremble,
Quake in wonder.
Where are you leading me?
Oh life.
Giver of good.
Creating yourself
In ever changing shapes.
You give
without asking.
Nature.
Who am I to you ?
You devour youself
Only to give birth to yourself again.
Will we always be together?
Oh light of love.
Don't be far from me.
You waken me.
Endless source.
Endless river.
Shapeless as a cloud.
Mother of all.
From you
all things ascend.
Stone flows
like mist.
The many change
and pass.
You endure.
A living flame
hidden in all things.
Where are you?
You.
Too great to see.
No end to your birth.
Eternal birth.
What is this world?
The stricken ox.
The abandoned child.
