The Open Window

The Open Window

Seven Rimed Couplets for Sister Parvati

As the Divine Belovèd reveals 
The closing door, all melodrama repeals 
Her burden, and to the open window grand, 
She will step into the light and stand. 
Peering into the blue of mystic seas, 
She will bask in the divine restoring breeze. 
With the Creator of Souls will her soul glow— 
The Divine Mind her mind the mystery show. 
He taught her to remember that the soul 
Through eternal tranquility remains whole  
Though the mind darts hither and yon 
And the body equals dust, dusk to dawn.
She will practice the joy of love night and day, 
And to earn the bliss of stillness, His word obey.
