Three Poems to the Divine

1. I Love and Praise You, Beloved

​

I love and praise You, Beloved,

From the temple of my heart

That we have built together,

Just You and me,

In the silence of my sorrows…

​

I love and praise You, Beloved,

For You are the torch on my path,

My wings and my wind…

You are the love I am able to feel,

For You are its well.

You are the impossible miracles

That happen every day.

You are the mountains I have crossed

With Your hand guiding me

Over the precipice of my fears…

​

I love and praise You, Beloved,

For You are the conductor

Of my divine music.

You are the music sheet

On which I write my notes,

And I wish to sing them forever

So that all Your creation

May wonder and admire You.

​

​

2. I Open My Wings to You, Beloved

​

I open my wings to You, Beloved,

Blindly free…

Without destination,

Because the feeling of You on my wings

Is the greatest reward.

Simple acceptance…

​

Like a rock overgrown with grass,

Impressive in its loneliness…

Washed by the sea,

Melted into the sand…

Your infinity is my essence.

The closer I am to You,

The wider I become.

​

Oh, how deeply I love Your sky

And how much Your love fulfills me…

Beloved,

The silence is so deep…

Telling me stories

About You, about me,

And about Creation.

​

​

3. I Sing for You, Beloved

​

I sing for You, Beloved,

In the intimacy of our love…

With You listening.

Tears run down my cheeks

Because You have made music alive,

And every song of Yours is a jewel

Purifying my soul.

​

I sing for You, Beloved,

While the sun goes down,

The song of the Earth

That You have made breathtakingly beautiful.

​

I sing for You, Beloved,

Because You are beside me,

Loving all my perfect imperfections,

Like Your beloved child

Of whom You are proud.
