A Mystic Verse, Questions
A MYSTIC’S VERSE-2, ”Questions”
How shall I see you in heaven?
Do you glow?
As the creator and temple of love,
Do you stand in unparalleled radiance?
Is there a glimmering of your aura?
Does your knowing all truth
Put a sparkle in your eyes?
Do the flames of your purifying fire
Leap up? And May we hear
Their snapping sparks?
Does music rush out ahead
To proclaim your nearing footsteps?
Does the silence of your visitings
Keep dancing within its rhythms,
Within its divine timing, which
We cannot comprehend?
Will you sit with me awhile longer
To tell how rainbows find their smiles?
And how you know I want to borrow
Some colors for my challenged days?
Tell me, too, how when
I told you in a prayer that, “I love you,”
You answered completely and simply,
“I know,”
So from that night on, my soul
Has been dressed in an eternal light?
Tell, how you see
Going on separate from you is
Lasting on,
Not a life, not living on?
