Prayer after Mother left Her body

Prayer of the Soul - Nursing Home - 2

In moments alone when the cloud-bursts of God

Thunder upon me pouring their rain

I glimpse the being I am and must be.

From the surging silence of a cosmic heart

Wells the mighty cry, "Be done,

Cast off smallness, temptation's lures,

Choose the path for the tread of kings.

Come to my Love as a flaming sword

Piercing the heavens, tempered by the earth,

Steeled in the disciplines yoga demands   ̶

A warrior weapon of my sun-bright days,

Forged in my Presence, invincible.

With rapier speed and lightning thrust

Destroy all longings and passions for Me."

Lone in my journey, embracing all,

Point me to Truth, my footsteps guide.

Long in the shadow of night I've lived

And strong have I witnessed the first faint rays

From the penumbra of Thy sun.

Let me now seek in fullness I pray

The millionfold rays of celestial fire.
