Katri Vala(1901-1944)
My naked soul
ascends through space
like a blind, bewildered bird.
Stars sway around me
like infinite flowers in a nightly wind.
There is nothing else than this ascension,
the intoxicating longing of the stream for the sea,
potency, one that yet doesn't exist,
an unborn star.
My blissfulness is without a limit,
my blissfulness kisses the gate of heaven,
when the lovely beam of the great whiteness
grasps my wincing heart like a hand.
Space is on its knees.
From sun to sun goes a shout:
God!
[Andante Religioso; Maan laiturilla(Porvoo: WSOY 1930), page 8.]
