God Your Lover––Poem by Dorothy
God Your Lover
"Never trust a god who doesn't dance."
Daniel Danilou
No matter what I may have said yesterday,
today I embrace another truth:
Ecstasy is real, the final affirmation,
the holy union and joining of self
as human
and the unseen divine.
How can you describe it?
How can you tell anyone
what it is like
to be invaded, assaulted,
seized and ravished
by something you can neither
see nor describe?
Summon all your courage
and let it have its way
with you,
your subtle and holy body,
your feeling self.
Know that this is
the heavenly lover,
the world suitor,
telling you secrets
of the flesh and spirit,
creator and destroyer,
who seeks to allow you
this brief glimpse,
this minute taste
of the reality
from which you came,
cosmic orgasm,
universal explosion,
now awakening you
through grace,
through hidden alchemy,
into the awareness
that many seek
and often do not find,
who remakes and transfigures your body
every hour of every day,
each tissue and cell,
accept the kiss,
receive the blessing,
do not refuse the Beloved
who is God.
