15. Stay Awake With Me

Dec 20

Stay Awake With Me

Wild, unburdened heart!

Beloved, I am untethered and boundless.

I melt into your embrace

and merge like a flame into your raging fires.

I weep in ecstasy, my tears a prayer upon you.

I will no longer hold this fountain of love bound within.

I trust that my devotion will not overwhelm you.

You are the vastness into which I can empty this cascade of affection.

You are the eternity I devote my fullness to.

Let us take off our identities and fantastic stories that keep us separate

from each other.

Meet me beloved in the spaciousness of our hearts,

where the only choice is veneration.

Stay awake with me.

If it takes all night I will stay awake with you.

If it takes all of this life I will stay awake with you.

If it takes all eternity I will stay awake with you.

I’ll wait patiently.

Stay awake with me.
