Ambrosia of Love
Embrace you with my tiny little hands. They are soiled, muddy, and dirty. When touched I put my finger prints, on your snow-white robe. I saw your sleeves spoiled by black sweaty dirt. You took my hand put your imprint- -of love on my forehead Oh, Mother! How fortunate I am. To touch and feel saturated sugar candy- of your love, when you sweetened me with, nectar of your grace; I melted, by warmth and dissolved in you. You are churning me making me vomit, my venom, scum off my mind. You were stirring and swirling me along. I am…

Ammas Darshan
Her arms reach out to us in unconditional love, Love flowing like a river reaches all souls that come, They come one by one, to be held in sweet love, A hug that opens the heart, tears of joy flow, Come quick render me harmless, Oh sweet Amma you know my heart. Like a magnet we gather, lines stretching into the night, We wait; we wait for that sweet embrace, Fragrance of peace emanates strongly from her being, Hearts melt beholding this precious being, Come quickly light the way to my heart, Oh sweet Amma you know my heart.

That is Holiness
Millions flock together, reach out for you, In despair filled sorrowful soaring eyes, They shower you with all their dripping hearts, smearing sweat and dirt on your shoulders. Listening to their woes holding them tenderly, often reflecting their emotions as your feelings. never forgetting to pour little of your softness, a drop of your compassion as honey dew. As the day gets older to twilight, then to darkness, Again to dawn, you sit there cross legged; Waiting for that unknown person to arrive, Just to watch the glow of innocence in his eyes. From the depth of oozing dirt and…
