Divine Love, No. 12: Looking for Your Face

From the beginning of my life
I have been looking for your face
But today i have seen it.
Today i have seen the charm, the beauty, the unfathomable grace of the face that i was
looking for Today i have found You
And those who laughed and scorned me yesterday
Are sorry that they were not looking as i did.
I am bewildered by the magnificence
Of Your beauty and wish to see You with a hundred eyes.
My heart has burned with passion
And has searched forever for this wondrous beauty
That i now behold.
I am ashamed to call this love human
And afraid of God to call it divine
Your fragrant breath like the morning breeze
Has come to the stillness of the garden.
You have breathed new life into me
I have become your sunshine
And also your shadow
My soul is screaming in ecstacy every fibre of my being is in love with you Your effulgence
has lit a fire in my heart
And you have made radiant for me the earth and sky. My arrow of love
Has arrived at the target
I am in the house of mercy
And my heart
Is a place of prayer
