Oh Mother
To Mata Amritanandamayi

Oh Mother,
You are so great.
Circling and singing, the swallows
come for Your blessing.
How can we,
Your children, find the way.
You are taking the world apart
and this chaos is awesome.
Still we are protected
by Your Love.
No matter how often we pull away,
You take us back.
We have so much sorrow --
it never stops flowing.
Dissolve our restlessness
in the beatitude of Your presence.
Open us
to the sky of Your love.
You dance with all the Gods --
heart-shattering is Your joy.
Let us fill from the well
of Your beauty.
Let us drink
from Your breast.
You are the sweetness
of the rose.
You are the full moon
in our hearts.
