Blessed is that moment,

When I am in obeisance in front of You,

My heart is unlatched then,

To let the universe in me,

To a supreme communion with You.

Your throb is then felt in every vein of a leaf,

In every rain drop that merges with the ocean,

In every grain of sand that flies to form a sand dune,

In every sniff of the wind that quivers the leaf,

In every sun- ray that spears the earth,

In every sparkle of the moon’s silvery robe,

And in every orbit through the Milky Way.

Blessed is that moment,

When You, me and the universe

All roll into one.
