Marlais writes: "This poem arose during my 'honeymoon' phase with Beloved Baba. It was inspired by the growing appreciation that the most beautiful expression of life on Earth is the Avatar - the incarnation of God into creation...Like divine light that cuts through dust, like heaven's bliss veined into rock."
lyrics
OUT OF YOUR LOVE FOR US
Marlais Pritchard
What is this pact You’ve made with Him, sweet one,
out of Your love for us,
that lets You in again and again?
To always come back this way,
to quicken our hearts
with joy and love and lift us back into You.
Sweet one, I had thought He’d asked it of You,
but now, now I’m not too sure,
that it wasn’t You who pleaded with Him out of Your love for us...
Beloved Meher Baba, Compassionate Father,
not for nothing You have been named.
