by Ehsan Sehgal
The day hides in the night
The night hides in the day
Dark into light
Light into dark
I am within me
Me is within I am
What is in what
Which one is the real
I cannot figure out
I cannot understand
If I throw all wisdom out
I have just the feelings
That open the door
Towards spiritual world
And the Divine mysteries
Where, there I see
Only the light
The light of the Almighty God
It surrounds all the planets
In its control, in its power
