LyricsO glorious, eternal Ancient OneYour face is a bright, transcendental sun lighten this dark world and the tears I weep My heart, Meher, I give to you to keep. Creator, yet creation-less you are Truth and truth's body, divine Avatar who, through compassion, the three worlds maintains - destroy this ignorance that life sustains. These five lights are the whirling spokes of breath of the world's wheel that bears me unto death unless you, who are infinitely kind break the wheels hub which is conditioned mind. This incense is my love, these fruits, my art which, to please you I have shaped from my heart; accept them as you would a simple flower that has no use beyond it's shining hour. You are my self, I sing to you in praise and beg your love to bear me through the days til you, the Everliving Perfect One illume my darkness with your shining sun. |
