Ecstasy

Cover mine eyes, O my Love!
Mine eyes that are weary of bliss
As of light that is poignant and strong
O silence my lips with a kiss, 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 










Cover mine eyes, O my Love!
Mine eyes that are weary of bliss
As of light that is poignant and strong
O silence my lips with a kiss,
My lips that are weary of song!
Shelter my soul, O my love!
My soul is bent low with the pain
And the burden of love, like the grace
Of a flower that is smitten with rain:
O shelter my soul from thy face!

Lyrics - Free Spirit by Deva Premal and Miten

Image
Spirit of the river, I can hear you, I feel as if i’m deep inside your song, I see you laughing intoxicated,dancing, Will you carry me with you when i’m gone? Spirit of the forest I can hear you, I travelled far to be among your kind and you teach me how to live among your people, I'm’m so far from the world, I left behind ashes to ashes, Sermons in stone, Oh how time passes, We’re here and then we’re gone, And all that remains, When we’re free of our chains, Is the love we shared. Mother earth what can I give back to you as you carry me, Carry me to my rest, I bow to the turning of your seasons as I lay my head upon your breast.

Poetry - The Waking - Theodore Roethke

The Waking - Theodore Roethke I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I have to go. We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. Of those so close beside me, which are you? God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there, And learn by going where I have to go. Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me, so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go. This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.
