I have known and thought I knew.
Said and told - based on what?
Dreams, desires, words of others?
Oh Love divine, Teacher of all,
How could I look at shadows and call them "Sun"?
My heart moves toward the only book,
read by love and loss of self.
I wrote and could not read
for I did not see Your words, only mine.
Beloved, lift this one
Behold, upon my life
I do not know.
Teach me to perceive, to be.
Tune my heart to Your presence,
help me put aside my self and eye
for the only eye of value - Truth.
Be my gateway to myself,
for I know only of one thing;
to You and from You comes knowing all
and I a pupil can not ever be
if I place myself before You
for I cast a shadow then upon myself/yourself.
Teach me your loving ways.
Forgive me my stupidity of knowing
forms and names, words of wisdom false
for you are the only source of knowledge.
Lift me, in willing surrender
to Your heart
that I may know the truth
that it may set me free.
Knowing one thing, I know all
and form and names make sense.
