God-given
The mind fades – I’m learning to put forth
the heart, a small warmth, a candle
flickering in the dark of my cell,
not flame enough yet to burn away the dross
but a relief to my chronic solitude –
a glow sufficiently humble to draw my Beloved.
He absorbs our tormenting sins to the exact extent
we open our wounds to His mercy,
His benevolence annulling
our every clinging indulgence,
allowing expansiveness to bloom –
an assured and expressive love setting up a house
of which we seem inherently unfamiliar,
a peace from which we’ve been too long estranged
but which is apparently our Self, our essence –
the seeds, pith and components of our true being.
O child of God, the flame within is the dhuni
burning away all your imagined deficiencies.
