MIND  SO  BLESSED

 

 

          My eyes, ears and mouth

                      must have committed

          grievous sins

                      since they are not able

          always to feast on

                      your divine form,

          listen to

                      your nectarine words

          and converse with you

                      earnestly.

 

                                                                    My mind, however,

                                                                                has been blessed

                                                                    munificently

                                                                                in that it holds you

                                                                    all the time

                                                                                in unremitting

                                                                    reverence!
