My Sweet Guru

Already,
You have become my guide of the spirit––
Holding my hand,
Leading me on,
Teaching me the mysteries
Of the heart.

You have touched me and
My life has been beautifully altered.

I see more clearly;
Touch more softly;
Clearly hear silence.

As my heart awakes
I can feel
The whispering sounds of a nearby
Stream of human spirit.

You have tasted of the waters of this stream.
I can tell, by the Karma of your eyes.

I have also seen
The earthen goblet in the corner of your room,
And imagine by the quiet excitement in your smile,
That the sun is rising
In the constellation of our loving.
