Song to the Divine Beloved

I will always hold you inwardly, so tenderly,
So grateful for you, for every moment you are alive,
For your presence in this world.

And if our hands slip apart, as hands do in this Tenuous Dream,
And we lose sight of each other in this vast creation,
I will hold you still, in my Heart, Forever.

When time and space vanish, and the cycle of existence ends,
I will hold you still, in my Heart,
In a secret place not even Shiva can destroy.

This Love will survive the dissolution of Heaven and Earth,
And I will meet you again, when the world begins anew,
Still holding you in my Heart.

I will take your hand, once more.
Having never let go.
