And Now O Holy Father

And now O Holy Father,
Eternal from beyond the meaning of all time
Begetting us in love
Like scraps of the sublime
I submerged into the intricacy of your being
A part of you, apart from you the whole eternal thing
Meet you in my finite space
The finite of the Infinite before my face
I tell no explanation
For every dictionary is divided truth
And you the whole assumption
Of Word we do not hear
With mortal ears
The liquid bowl with light poured in us
Come hither, come hither, I hear it say
Come hither, child
Absolute belief is here for your translation.

And I trembling in my Elijah cave
Pined like Enoch before you walked the wave.

I did enjoy this prayer of supplication. O Lord let us like Enoch, walk before you in your total grace.

Dr. Ram, thanks for your observation. I am truly indebted to the Dravidian foundation of your philosophy, which flows like a proud tributary from our common beginning along an Ethiopian (Cushite) river: Genesis 2:13. Thanks to all of you
