BRIDE

BRIDE

2019

The sweet yoke

The light burden

Of divine law.

I take you into my heart of hearts

With beneficent fortitude.

Do I cross your mind?

Actively feeding  your dreams?

As devoted, beautiful, wise

Your happiness and success.

As a good mother?

The best I can hope to achieve 

Is to become the spiritual bride of a just man.

You read the law,

I interpret it.

The bright reflection of the divine mother.

Behind you is any competition for my affections

At the foundation you have already won them.

To stand at the last judgement

Side by side with me

Judged worthy of

Eternal life.

But for now you shy away from me.

Delay or absence?

I know you

Dedicated to the highest good,

Possessing of the gifts of a poet.

You are living the idea of gain

To build a house and family.

Hoping to craft it skillfully, perfectly. 

Fearing that you might be mistaken in me. 

I have assurety

You have discernment

Your heart is safe with mine

And your success a certitude.

Don’t let your attempt 

To penetrate the Mystery of God overwhelm you.
