Times, Alive

The first time I heard from him
I was in paradise meditating
What is the meaning of life?
He then told me: Work
Grow, love and multiply

I lived for ages seeking power
I divided it into several images
To justify that I didn't understand
The meaning of loving

The second time I heard from him
I brought ten articles, articles of law
To tell me, to make me understand
How should I act to love?

I lived for ages trying to follow you
There were many images, hunger for power
Not knowing where to go and not serving
I didn't know how to love

The third time I heard from him
His voice was firm, soft and strong
Summarized ten articles into three
The verb to love became clearer

I lived times conquering grudges
I wish love was imposed on everyone
I have always mistreated the impure and the unfaithful
I didn't see companions

The fourth time I heard from him
He welcomed me with open arms
He explained to me the meaning and origin of the pains
I understood how love works

Times, alive, in search of answers
It comes in the way I see it in others
They are in me and reveal themselves
When I understand, love
