Bear Me a Fire


Bear me a fire to transform my soul

Anoint me with the Paradisal oil

Bring me silence in a golden bowl

And manna to sustain my age-long toil.


Offer me fragrant flowers as I prepare

To drink my fill from sacramental streams,

And wash away the dust of earthly care.

Robe me in starlight and the moon's silver beams


And guide my spirit gently to slowly come,

Cleansed of impatience, ego, desire, deceit

And the accumulations I called my home,

Once more to kneel before Her lotus feet.
