The blessedness

The blessedness                                                                                          

Your name was once a plea I made for mercy.

Now it’s an anointment and a benediction.

Now it’s a speechlessness and a shelter.

Eruch described it as a beholden.

He was talking about the blessedness

of being at Your mercy – 

the blessedness of being at Your mercy.

Beholden to You, a relationship

wherein the pardon is mine to receive   

and Yours alone to give. 

The blessedness of being at Your mercy –

the Father of mercy

in our one and only intimacy

before the two become One.

O child of God, Meher answered your beggary

with the only coin in His purse.
