Peaceful Conceptions

And so I turn
To the Cistercian Monks of Stift Heiligen
I listen to their chant - Music for Paradise

I put on my coat
The sunlight
No longer gifts its warmth

That is how the days and nights are

Light, dark, light
Warm, cold, warm
Action, stillness, action

And so I dwell
In Paradisium
Giving thanks to its anonymous scribe

I breathe in
I breathe out
The time asks for my preparation

That is how the time of time is
