Repost: The Friend
From : "Se Cniht" (The Knight) - unpublished
That Friend who gave the very Grail to my lips
and made me drunk with eternities bliss.
That Friend resides within the core of hearts.
That Friend by many names is G-d,
the very throne and crown of Life.
Yet, of all the beautiful names of Adonai,
I cherish especially this single one;
El Shaddai ... “the breasted one”.
For Beneath Her blessed wing like robes
I find fulfilled my knightly quest.
My lady's mercy is a true abode and rest.
No more can I discern between earth and sky
As these days of sacred madness unfold
A honey filled fountain is my only desire,
So sweet the wine from warm moist lips.
And each sigh a tear in the fabric of time
through which I free my soul, Oh yes,
Sigh O' surrendered, wine enamored heart,
for sake of love, awakened kiss by kiss.
How false a God that would not espouse
this faultless essence of our longing,
or be not present in a single flowers bloom.
and made me drunk with eternities bliss.
