Beloved of My Soul

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 beloved of my soul who sets me free.
