Leap of faith

(294)  Tumi esechile manera kamale

You appeared on the lotus of my mind,
Producing a flood of light in countless streams,
And stirring, within my mental mansion,
Fresh surges in a novel rhythm.

Don't go, don't go—
Remain nearby;
Sustain Your cadence and dance.
My brimming heart, beholding Thee,
Finds voice in waves of melody.

Bereft, bereft—
I live in dread of being
A deposed king, no crown on his head.
In my mute solitude, ever stay with me;
To You, fervently will I sing.
