To Feel Again Her Touch

I would release my self from all bonds past

And present tribulations of the soul,

The errors I have made, the depths I've known,

Temptations to which I readily succumbed,

The doubts I harboured, tenuous my faith,

The insincerity and arrogance

Of youth in unrepentant heady days,

The surface life, the turbulence of mind,

Egregious acts and all unholy thoughts,

To feel again Her touch upon my heart,

Her eyes that with their gentle love saw all,

Her feet on which unworthy I placed my head,

Her voice that spoke illumining the world,

Her hands that blessing me awakened soul

Her force that lit this aspiration's flame,

Her power that enables and protects

Guiding us from all unconsciousness,

Delivering earth from the stranglehold of death,

And wake the spirit from forgetful sleep,

To change the body and transform the cells

And from the forces that annihilate

Uplift and cleanse, revivify and change

This sorrowed life to commune with the Divine.
