I will face my reality Embrace the Devouring This experience of Existence From off the potter's wheel Give my soul, for love Your skin-deep love It's an act of faith My unconscious resistance Then - the miracle of surrender Through this cosmic dance We see a river flowing Her feminine wine A moonlit beach The starlit sea A breath of ***** To tempt her towards passion Then unbraided her body Kissed her closed eyes We hug Bathed in candlelight Those brittle fragments Every part of this soul Every broken piece Is a sublime chess game with God The flow of life The spiritual path The gap between compassion Surrender Is love’s darkest, deepest region The faith in his hope Whiter than the moon The artists naked humanity.
