This is the Face, I shall always See

O, God! Into your precious Presence, I come
Hoping I am sufficiently humbled
And worthy to be at Your Feet
To bask in Your Radiance and earn Your Grace.

I already have Your Love, for I am Your child,
Your image incarnate,
And I await the moment
Of complete Union with Thee, in all dimensions,
That I may serve You more completely.

I am the breath of Your Breath;
The Light of Your Eye;
I am the sum‑total of all your dreams for me
Though not yet totally fulfilled
Totally aware, totally consumed by the Flame,
Yet, I know, the moment approaches—
­When I stand before you naked in the Flame,
For the moment of total fusion
With Your Divine Energies
With Your Divine Self.

O Sweet Lord, beckon me to come to You
That I may sit at Your Feet
And breathe Your Fragrance
And hear Your Words, and know Ecstasy…

O Sweet Lord, Emit the thought Divine
That will bring me into Your Presence
Even as You are always in mine.
O Sweet Lord, make me an Instrument of Thy Love
That I may more ably serve You.
O Sweet Lord, into the essence of matter
You cast me in Your Image
And so I formed, time and time again.

Honed on the stone of Life, to a fine edge,
Molded by tides of ego like fine clay
To emerge—in Your Time, in Your Presence­—
A rare jewel, a fine porcelain,
That I may grace Your Being,
And be exceedingly pleasing to You.
O Sweet Lord—thank You, Thank you, Thank you.

At the Foot of the Lotus, I take my place
And looking up I see Your Face.
From this moment on, for all of me,
This is the Face I shall always see.
The eyes with which you look into mine
Reinforces my life Divine.
And, Oh, the smile upon Your Lip
Puts me firmly into Your grip.
If this is all I’ll ever see
Then, let it be, Lord, let it BE.
For though I smile and laugh and jest
Within the Sight of You is best!

I close the petals of this flower
For it has known its final hour.
When next I bloom, with blossom bright,
I’ll radiate within Your Light.
