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.
