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
