Parting Words

 When I go from hence 
let this be my parting word, 
that what I have seen is unsurpassable. 

I have tasted of the hidden honey of this lotus 
that expands on the ocean of light, 
and thus am I blessed 
---let this be my parting word. 

In this playhouse of infinite forms 
I have had my play 
and here have I caught sight of him that is formless. 

My whole body and my limbs 
have thrilled with his touch who is beyond touch; 
and if the end comes here, let it come 
---let this be my parting word.
