I Will Just Say This - St Teresa of Ávila

We
bloomed in Spring.
Our bodies
are the leaves of God.
The apparent seasons of life and death
our eyes can suffer;
but our souls, dear, I will just say this forthright:
they are God
Himself,
we will never
perish
unless He
does.

St Teresa of Ávila (Teresa Sánchez de Cepeda y Ahumada) (1515 – 1582) Spain
