The Greatest Gift
Born with this passionate love for you,
Traversing lifetimes through the caverns,
Of my deep longing to know you,
Not knowing the secret,
To enter your love land,
Has tortured me.
I sit on my worn-out meditation cushion,
Letting go of my struggle to find you,
I sit here,
Simply falling deeper and deeper in love with you.
Surprise!
The secret sweeps through me,
Not a secret at all,
You have always been here,
Beneath my trying to know you,
Behind my thinking that you were hiding from me,
Beside my tears of longing.
To know you will not lead me to,
Perfect wealth, perfect partner, perfect children, perfect home, perfect health,
The Glorious glimpse of your presence,
Loving you,
Is the prize.
Nothing can dissolve your eternal smile within me,
That is shining from me now…
