Tulipan

Never wasted, this love I offer you...

Though never known just as long as you’re asleep

.

Should I consider you my weakness?

Then I have failed to see your worth

Whatever man may tell me; you are the force regaining strength

Since you awakened joy within me to be lost within this Self

.

For somehow you bring me to my knees..

.

But no, not because of hunger, though I long for you indeed;

Not because of thunder, though your lightning strikes my feet

It’s as if you have rekindled the roots on which I stand;

As if my devils have been frightened since your touch upon my hand

..

For you remind me of my journey

.

Long, the road, which I long to walk about;

Strong, though, the passion running stout

As an ever flowing river through the abyss of my heart

Whereupon I will be floating till the day of my depart

.

-For it’s love of the Divine which inspires my every act

.

Now unfolding in its splendour is the tulip in my eyes

Almost crying out in virtue; she’s not veiled within disguise

And as red her shining beauty now reflects within my mind

As effective knows my heart that it has finally come alive

.

-May it burn for all Your glory.
