Eternal Wanderer

Eternal Wanderer

O Lord, the life You have given!
Deeper and richer than I could have ever imagined.

People judge this dull exterior.
They don’t know my secret life:

the narrow mountain paths
we walk together, my Beloved and I.

They’ve never seen the heart’s sky open,
moon and constellations shining above that sea.

His luminous Presence ebbs and rises,
its dark waters rolling through my chest.

Love seeks a traveling companion.
Must be willing to gamble.

O child of God, throw in with that Eternal Wanderer.
Embark together on the mystical journey to Self.
