Meditation of Divine Love

[Guest guest]

higher divine love

 

“…they call you redeemer of outcasts…”

-Mirabai

 

take my clean hands,

beloved dark one,

as you promised.

let us both stand

facing eyes to eyes,

inside and outside

of time and space,

the true redemptress

of this faithless soul.

i have been caught

in a wanton riptide

of endless awaiting

battering the rocks.

now, my dark one,

you reveal yourself

ageless and perfect,

freeing this wayfarer

from his wandering.

dark one, mirabai,

i sit naked at your feet

with your sweet blessing

 

Now,

nothing less

than love’s honor is at stake,

for your poet sings to you, Mira, of ever higher divine love!
