Exile to Bhakti

Exile to Bhakti

I am mad with love
And the ages will not understand
Why I forsake a normal life
For God, for art, for devotion

And no one will understand
My plight, but maybe Sufis
Those that listen for the Tao
Only the wounded

Can understand the agonies of the wounded
Only the downtrodden
Can feel the fire of the rage
Of the impoverished

The Angels knew this
And that is why I am ever
I am made with love
Not for a person, but people

Not for one people, for all life
Not for a God, a symbol or a saint
But for in the possession
Of love that is a lack

But in the recognition of it
I found love habituated
Every part of the world
All the known planets

And found everything beautiful
And somehow nothing worthy of
Divine love, that is why
People know so little about the universe.

What I seek is A God-climbing heart As wide as the galaxy To host, supernatural spiritual-love A God-manufacturing mind Would be insufficient To express, the purity The simplicity of the divine What I seek is A God-loving heart Capable of … Continue reading →

Awed by your Splendor

Posted on September 16, 2013 by Wuji

If love hast ruled me, not hate
then shall I arise an older mate
who never loved like I do

where youth and love lie side by side
we shall stay young, in bed
and cherished happiness
If love thou hast for me, dear muse

my bride the rosy leaves
are flying to the shores
give to me, thy groom, soft sweetness
for eternity has gladness

here to pass, until the silver cord
bends lips of full kisses to thee
thy form is lovely, nearly as thy spirit
whose eyes are honeyed moisture

thick with the longing of
a lifetime without Aphrodite’s full charm
If love hast ruled me, not hate
then shall I abide with thee

Awed by thy splendorous dress
of good nature and stars near
with a bright face for me
in the roundest lights the earth can hold.

I Would Follow Thee

Take me with you, this morning
I’m will to be a beginner again
To learn from you, to subtly
Be the moisture of the dew
On your feet, tread me with

I want to hear your voice
And your wispy thoughts
Caress the day, like golden-white light
Allow me to, look from your gaze
I want to know the pure heart

The dancing lotus of time, the spark
Beyond instruments, the childlike wonder
Take me with you, this morning
Teach me your inner solitude
That I might penetrate God in everyone

Take me with you, make me into a bird
Who circles high to regard your head
As my master, lover, the friend
Of my every beating wing, every breath
Take me with you, this morning
Into your living spirituality of health.
