SAGUNA GEMS
The nectar of Your name caresses
my numb heart softens the
hardened portals unblocks the
sadness, disappointment, grief, fear,
bitterness that clogs the
passageways and poisons the spirit
The dog treasures his bone
squirrels their acorn
day adores the sun
night seduces the milk white moon
I drown in the holy honey
of Your Name
God! God! GOD!
You who will never forsake
or abandon Your devotee
You and Your name are
One
