love

Monday, May 21, 2012

It's inconceivable!

a combustion of life force
flows through
my mind

my heart —
feeding the flames of
Self-love

devotion —
fueling the ever-present awareness
reverberating
like a deluge of light
falling on the river of my Being

drop after sacred drop
the hum of His voice
twirling withing me

YES, Love
i am here, always!

let me know how to move
and i will follow with my head bowed so deep in devotion
that i will only see Your shoe-laces
or Your sun-colored painted toes
as You walk by

and,
as a gesture of humility,
i swear,
I will remain with my eyes forever downcast
just looking at the dirt under my feet

i promise,
i will not even look up
ever

for all i see is You —

no matter if I am ever blessed with the privilege of glancing into
Your benefic eyes,
i shall always be satisfied

and yet, and yet
i lay before You with eyes so tightly shut
and all i see is Your face illumined,
a golden sun before me

so bright!

no matter how downcast these eyes are
You drop below me, again and again and again,

i simply cannot escape Your love

 — it is inconceivable!

and yet, and yet...
my mind whirls with thoughts of deep devotion

so sweet You feed me this way,
from the swirling flames
ever established
in
my heart.
