The sky, deep and clear
Remind me of Your mind.
This great tree, having born much fruit
Remind me of Your life.
The water flowing through the land
The stream of benefit You brought.
My thoughts always return to You.
From the habit of so many lives
At Your feet. And Your eyes
Enchant me, as always, seen in memory.
I will always know You, and You me.
Only space between us. Only time.
Still I drink from Your deep well.
Nourished by Your great kindness.
And await the blessing of Your holy face.
Await the sound of Your holy steps.
The wonder of Your precious voice.
Oh, Beloved, Great Warrior, King of Light.
Return to me, to all who yearn for You!
Though You bless us still- return!
You are the beat of my heart, my joy!
You, my strength, my Guide, my source-
Led by example, I will benefit beings.
Following You, I will practice.

If sentient beings are in place, my wisdom teacher dances magically in place” – Thinley Norbu Rinpoche

The word “beloved” is so rich and beautiful – you can taste the deep love and reverence and tenderness. Will your poems become songs, Jetsunma? I look forward to further musical and poetic revelations. Thank you.
How very, very beautiful! I too hope to hear this sung by you, Precious Guru. I can feel the passion and longing in your heart. Following You, I will practice.
