Abhaya, Lover and Beloved Are One

Original song by Abhaya Shyam

My Dearest Beloved,

You are not only by my side
But you reside deep within,
Appearing to be hidden
When the soul is trapped by mind.

But ever ready are you
To lead me to happiness
To lead me to fulfilment
Revealing I alone am.

My dearest beloved,
When eyes close to meditate
I see you oh so clearly
beyond the clouds of self-doubt
And the world’s entanglements.

In the depths of meditation
The clouds of doubt lift and disperse
And in that stillness you shine
Your ever-present presence.

With eyes closed I see you.
Through prayer you speak to me
Dissolving all duality
Infusing my being with Oneness.

You are the love that never ceases
You are the love that never judges
Ever flowing, ever nourishing
My own sacred undying love.
