I KNOW YOU ARE

The heavens recount a very known secret:

that this moon and the stars are a shinning white rope.

They pull up the heart to Your psalms as an eaglet,

Where the wind blows man’s soul with great marvel and hope.

There it floats free of its thoughts;

There everything makes the most sense,

Enjoying the joy and the love it once lost,

buried down by an ego so dense.

There it reveals how all treasures are worthless,

infected with mould and of limited gain;

And seeking a cherished white pearl, its loved fortress,

it finally sees that Love spells Your name!

Happiness carries Your face:

It makes the spirit rejoice in the wonder of Light,

Gifts the soul with the courage to carry its race,

To a life that’s blessed endlessly under Your sight.

This heart there abides in true wisdom,

It stands firm on the rock of Your word;

Beating only for your heavenly kingdom,

Now it’s deaf to the threats of this world.

And this soul knows it dwells in Your presence,

Being restless in want of Your care;

Seeks its path in true meaning and essence:

Cause Your Love is more precious than air.

Thus replenished it descents to its core,

By the Truth that’s revealed in  true grace;

Only now it’s more meek than before,

Cause still everything seeks for Your trace!
