You came to me one night, within a dream
Enlightening with Love my heart’s abode
My wounded soul with just one glance you freed
With Words of Nectar, Wisdom You bestowed
Your Touch is one that knows no selfish will
Your Spirit, free from limits, soars in peace
Your graceful Smile imbibes my soul with joy
Dissolving sorrow, making thought-waves cease
Please hold me tight, Dear Mother Of Sweet Bliss
For You are Wisdom’s Gift, my candle’s flame
A Healing Salve upon my bleeding heart
Immortal Song caressing mortal frame
Oh Mother, in Your Presence I rejoice
Today, I sing Your Praise with humble voice

The world's interpretation of these great people is that they are "too good to be true", but then they never receive the benefits of faith. It is clear that you are not in this camp and that Amma has made a loving and lasting impression on you. It is a blessing to the world to have such examples to follow. I enjoyed the unhindered flow of affection in this poem.

Another beauty in sonnet form that speaks of that search for inner peace and acceptance. Beautiful!

This is a beautiful verse my friend. A lovely tribute to the spiritual mother. Wonderful in dacasyllables with a distinct pivot at L9 as a well written sonnet should have. The couplet is like a prayer. This is a classic.
Love,
Amera ♥
