19. Our naked souls
As souls we stand forever naked,
we can't dress up or mask ourselves or even hide
but must be just and true just as we are
in inescapable and utter nakedness
with all our lacks and wants, our wounds and sins,
our ugliness and loads of gathered vices, —
but at the same time, our true nature is exposed
in all its naked beauty,
which stands out incapable of being hidden,
totally undressed forever to its basics,
in which beauty there is nothing we can hide
of what is true in us
which nakedness is totally reduced
to basics of eternity.
