In Your Name

Listen.

When I tell you that every grain of rice I eat

Bears your name.

That with every breath I take,

Or with every blink of my eyes,

A myriad expressions flit across my face

Because I am thinking of the moment

When we will meet again…

My rapture descries you in every

Rock, leaf, cloud, or ripple,

In every taste, texture, touch, smell,

In the sweetest fragrance.

And in the foulest wince.

I care not for censure or judgment,

For mockery or pain,

For my piety fears no one.

I revel, and I endure

Because I live every moment

In your name.
