The weighted Word

The weighted Word                                                                                         
 
Just love me, said my Lord,
perhaps to re-introduce the word to us;
 
to alter the general bearings of our karmic drift;
to make the gradual shift from our being
 
daunted beseechers of God to enrapt lovers. 
What seems like choice (said Meher)
 
is simply the winning out
of one sanskaric compulsion over another.
 
As tendrils of His sown love-seeds
emerge and entwine the heart,
 
we might imagine a subtle listing at each juncture,
away from the usual rutted fears and desires
 
toward a new tack; toward freedom, home
and the final God-centered harbor.
 
O child of God, Meher came to awaken us
and the weighted Word He uses is love.
