The Divine Mirror
When the first morsel of food
Was placed on your tongue… Your eyes were alit… You tasted and retasted What was on your tongue… You reached toward your mother And loved her for sustaining Your body And Making you whole… But have you tasted the love for God…? Once you have tasted the love for God You shall smile as if The world has brought you gold… You shall learn to laugh at things That seem to you as trouble… You shall cry in remembering The wasted moments Of doubt and tension… You shall guard the peace That you feel within Just like a queen bee That guards the honey In the hive… The norms of society Shall no more call Your name… You shall be happy To be with your heart And spend day and night In filling and refilling The reservoirs of love For your beloved Lord…
You shall see
The stormy skies And smile as it stares… You will walk Through the gusty winds And fear not What you may have to bear… And when the sun shines In the skies… You shall turn to its lights And know that in its brilliance Your sweet Lord smiles and hides…
In times of disease…
In times of death You shall stay with the Lord And pray… And from your love for Him You shall draw the verses of wisdom And repeat their truth Until time passes away…
The taste of love
For the Lord Himself Remains for lives to come… And each time your body awakens… To a new birth… You smile and remember The food of love… In which your soul awoke… And the sweet nectar of truth Poured from within And made each dark night A day of God to live…
Do not worry
Of how you shall foster This love for God In your life… Just remember The loneliness Before the days Before you fell in love With Him… And you shall yourself Turn away From the gloom Of piercing fears.
O when you have
Tasted Peace for once… Your heart shall Tremble To draw the old world near…
The strength
To love God Comes When you see Him So very much Like yourself… The closer you go To His sweet good ways You my friend Shall see The mirror In His heart That reflects A picture Of this world In which God stands And gives His love Continuously…to you…and me…
Yes! O Child
You love God For He is you More than you And you…yourself… And the moment You place This Divine Mirror Upon your wall… You shall always see The truth of you… The truth in which He alone reflects Within your soul And the love for God For which you breathe Is the food Of that soul That keeps it full… And makes it complete!
