49. The hour

```

The hour came

But I forgot to invoke God.

Therefore bondage remained my life.

The hour comes

But I forget to love life.

Therefore helplessness is my other name.

The hour shall come

But I shall forget to become God’s Silence-seed.

Therefore I shall fail to measure

God’s Sound-birth. ```
