December 1985
My Beloved Lord Supreme,I have failed, I have failed, I have failed.
I have failed in the world of aspiration-cry.
I have failed in the world of dedication-smile.
I have failed in the world of manifestation-dance.
My Lord,
I implore You to give me one more chance
To be worthy
Of Your Eternity's Compassion-Feet,
To be worthy
Of Your Infinity's Forgiveness-Eye
And to be worthy
Of Your Immortality's Satisfaction-Heart.
