Lover of My Soul

11/21/01

I've known behind Thy smile the Fire's force

Incinerating veils of ignorance

Igniting at the core this fragile spark.

A look, a blessing touch, a moment's glance,

I shall Thy grace remember through all time,

Approaching did my spirit recognize

A Mother's smile that holds the universe

A captive of the god-light in her eyes.

Not as a pleasant picture in a frame

Do I a seeker kneel to worship Thee,

Or vast transcendence limitless, unknown,

But lover of my soul who sets me free.
