Your fragrance arrives on the long-wandering wind,
the hint of your presence pierces my heart,
a pang of rapture.
I wait for you in sorrow’s darkness, craving
the beauty that delights my eyes, gives solace
to my weary sight.
Your wisdom guides us from darkness into light.
We bow in hope and holy awe to She who,
unknowable,
knows what’s hidden in our hearts, fulfills
our need: compassion, forgiveness,
release.
Friend, brightest jewel in heaven’s crown of stars,
know our need and intercede for us. Divine light
shines through you —
No, you yourself are the torch
dazzling my eyes.
