Do not try to look at me
— I am in a mantle —
I cannot be seen.
Do not try to call me
I will not answer
For I do not want to utter a word
— I want to listen in silence —
For I am in the company of the essence.
Do not try to understand
For I, myself, do not understand.

Do not try to look at me
— I am in a mantle —
I cannot be seen.
Do not try to call me
I will not answer
For I do not want to utter a word
— I want to listen in silence —
For I am in the company of the essence.
Do not try to understand
For I, myself, do not understand.
