21. Just because You are always forgiving
My sweet Lord,I am terrible at remembering names.
In Heaven I forget
Earth's sacred name: sacrifice.
On earth I forget
Heaven's secret name: compassion.
But just because You are not terrible,
But are always forgiving,
I breathe in a shining corner
Of Your creation vast.
Sri Chinmoy, Yesterday I Was a Crying Dream, Agni Press, New York, 1975
