A Festoonment of Rabindranath Tagore's Poem "My Song"

Beloved, my song will wrap its melody around you like the fond arms of love.
It will touch your forehead like a kiss of blessing, opening you to beauty and bliss.

When you are alone, it will sit by your side and whisper in your ear, "Have no fear, I am here."
When you are in the crowd, it will fence you about with aloofness, to preserve and protect.

My song of love for you will be like a pair of wings to your dreams,
And transport you to the verge of the mystery of the unknown.

When nothing but darkness covers your road,
It will be like the faithful, skyward pole star shining your way on.

It will sit in the pupils of your eyes and open your vision to the heart of the Heart of all things.

And when I am gone, it will play in your living heart, and you will know that you are loved.

Dear Ones,
The sweetness of the universe runs through you, like honey, which drips best with warmth and coaxing; you cannot force it. Remember to move and breathe. Dance in the moon and stars. Kiss and hug your loved ones. Be as deliberately tender as a cloud drifting by touching your skin with coolness. Allow all of life's mess-ups to be a time to laugh with childishness for what is. Breathe my fire even when you think you are too tired. Pay attention to the subtleness of the pulse of life--my pulse-- always beating my love for all that is. I am the dew that softens all that is. I am your Divine Life Force. Go in beauty. Peace be with you, till we meet with our hearts in the light.
Yours forever, She Who Is Herself
