I was not aware
that He belongs to me
and me alone.
He attuned me
with utmost care
to melodies divine.
He was so near,
so very near
in rhythmic streams
of dance and song
which issued from the sweetness of my mind,
yet I was not informed,
I did not know before.
Now that He has gone,
I am alone
and in consuming pangs
of separation
I understand
how deeply
He had filled me with His love
with hope, with aspiration.
I understand these now,
I did not know before.
