The Tears of a Smile

Creator
I wake this morning
With seas moaning in my eyes
As I call to you
To honour you
Vowing to work
To blaze and be bright.

I ask to be filled
With strength to keep this flame in my heart
Ever-burning
In the midst of the winds of time
Ever-burning
So I can light up other candles just like mine.

Oh Creator
Be with me
Make my love a spiral
I cry
Quivering like a child
In the throes of the secret energy
Bubbling in my belly.

I wait
Until my entire body
Is suffuse with your shining
Is touching
the nectar…

As tears overflow from my eyes
I suddenly realize
They are your tears
You too are weeping for this shimmering felicity
A part of you as I am me:
Created
And
Creator.

I cannot fathom
This kiss on the lips of Goddess
With the pegs of mind
The branding of words
Only with these tears

Cajoling my sadness
To smile…
