I am you
HOW COULD A LOVER FALL?
What could have caused your grip to weaken
that allowed creation to be?
How could a lover fall to his death
from the arms of infinite
strength?
How active are you in the mind sustaining such a great wall
that the sun can cast a frightening shadow
the world believes.
No one has ever really known sadness. No real God
would ever allow pain.
How then can a heart feel it is broken and in need
if we are held in the arms of infinite
compassion and
strength?
That mirror you (God) stand before––
we need to gaze into it also.
That name you call Beloved
as I fell from your lips
I suffer
because I did not quite
hear it;
so tell me again dear One
so clear;
I am
you.
(Tukaram, from “Love Poems From God” by Daniel Ladinsky. )
