Nectar of Supreme Delight
Perhaps tomorrow I shall know
The things I cannot see today,
The future's road on which I go,
The hidden music and the play.
Peace folds its sweetness round my head
Descends enveloping my heart
Yet to the past I am not dead
And from this earth I must not depart
Just yet for there is much to do.
The gardens wait in subtle space
And music will my soul renew
To lift me to that higher place
Where all is known I've striven for,
That I might sing the worlds to sleep,
In flowered dreams my spirit soar
To find eternal joy nor weep
For beauty lost where beauty reigns
In Durga's arms, in Laxmi's smile,
In Saraswati's liquid strains,
No separateness and no denial
Of lower self to scale the height;
The boundaries of time erase,
The nectar of supreme delight
To sip, the golden feet embrace.
