Surrender


Ah, four years ago last night...
The Lover said to the Beloved,
"I am immersed in You."
The Beloved replied with
twinkling eyes,
"You have no choice!"
Who comprehends this conversation?
I only love because I have free will,
yet when I surrender
my heart completely
like nectar to the Guest,
love annihilates the will,
and this is perfect freedom.
The cup of the rose is empty.
The bee is no longer restless.
The music of So'Ham
pervades the whole garden.
I know this
because I have become
a fool.
