Omnipresence

Omnipresence

He is in me, round me, facing everywhere.
    Self-walled in ego to exclude His right,
I stand upon its boundaries and stare
    Into the frontiers of the Infinite.

Each finite thing I see is a façade;
    From its windows looks at me the Illimitable.
In vain was my prison of separate body made;
    His occult presence burns in every cell.

He has become my substance and my breath;
    He is my anguish and my ecstasy.
My birth is His eternity's sign, my death
    A passage of His immortality.

My dumb abysses are His screened abode;
In my heart's chamber lives the unworshipped God.
