When my strength falters I sing
And I hear another singing with me
I loved to sing with my sister
And she still sings with me
Fortunate together in life and faith
Creating melodies to cherish
Finding us enriched but sadder yet
When time comes for one to perish
Sustaining Love and inner wisdom
Forges a bridge to find the way
Baba comes and gathers us
In His palms we pray
Beloved ones hear our devoted hymns
Lifting veils and raising octaves
Baba’s healing chorus melds signatures in tune
Hark, it is heard beneath the mindless chatter
When All is perceived, nothing else will matter
Our faces streaked at times, turn upward towards the sun
The way of The Lord comes in the chant of a bird
Cascades of water falling over crevasses
Form founts of blessed nectar
Holding refuge for travelers holy hearts
The tides ebulliently sing so blessedly sweet
Enfolding arms embrace, Baba’s sheep sing your song
A songbird with a bar, you can hear them
The overlay is near to those who have an ear
A million deaths have not stopped us loving fiercely from the start
Yet still, we part in sorrow as our soul writhes in our hearts
Each time we play a different part and take the leap of faith
That we shall bear our suffering and love will give us Grace
Two songbirds flying high gifting the earth
Twin Sisters but not of the same birth
Find each other amongst the stars
Streaking with a sound too great to hear earthbound
Felled with tears on bended knees
A lump within cracks open and melts
Honey ladled with salted water
Nourishes the winged creatures that angels send
Butterflies and birds whisper magical thoughts into ears that flutter
Like clouds blowing in the breezes
Song spreads over the earth like a vesper
Helping lost ones see their way through darkened forests
Feeling that impassioned rhapsody, waivering turns to fortitude
Delighting the ones who no longer need the light to see in the dark
Stumbling past death, permitting grief to flow
Baba’s song soothes and optimism grows
Beloved souls gather an octave above
Astonishing Sounds of Oneness pierce the silence
Of Hearts turned towards stone
When I sing I feel ecstatic sounds winding and whirring within my chest
A distant chorus takes up residence within my mind
Pink and yellow light emanates into a singular sound
It is then I feel her thump within my own
As the beat changes tempo and my heart softens wildly
I don’t wonder who shares this with me
I know this song by heart
My focus ensnared, It changes my stride
I have been gratefully cracked open and wide
I feel humans torture for love is like the water
In grief it cannot reach the break within the heart
So Friends of Baba, reach out to me when I am numb
Tell me how to feel again and sing these words to me
For I shall be beyond the pleading then
So please be there for me.
