Lovers of Meher

Lovers of Meher                                                                                        
 
You referred to us as lovers, not followers,
perhaps because so few are willing to be led
 
into such fearsome territory as You inhabit. 
Instead, we make our own way,
 
in our own little world.  Lovers,
You named us, because the abandonment
 
of our selves requires not a regimen to follow,
fraught with discipline and resolve,
 
but a way of effortless, irresistible love.  Not self-control
but the giving up of self and control entirely.
 
O child of God, only lovers enter the kingdom gates
and only Meher holds the key.
