18. What I did instead
Lord, the day I met YouFor the first time,
You asked me
To open my heart on earth
And
Open my mouth in Heaven.
But
What I did, You know,
(Of course You know)
I opened my mouth on earth
Instead,
And I have been planning
To open my heart in Heaven
Instead.
Alas, I am now dancing
With my disobedience-ignorance
And
Deception-perdition.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, part 14, Agni Press, 1974
