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.
