Prayer to the Divine Mother
from
Poems of Marifa
Divine Mother, Kali-Durge-Mary-Sophia,
if your womb has generated me
so that I might see the world,
let me see the world
with your clear eyes.
Remove the veil from my sight,
so that I might become your seeing,
undo the knot in my heart
so that I might become Love.
Let my consciousness become pure and transparent,
like the Consciousness that has generated me.
Let everything be welcomed in my womb
as you welcome me in yours.
Hold my hand and take me out in the open Space
where the light plays with the rainbow,
where silence plays with sound,
where Love plays with hate
eternally lost,
eternally found again.
Be my darkness,
be my light,
melt the deep of my soul
in the pearls of your loving tears.
Welcome me, welcome me, welcome me,
as you have generated me,
always united, never separate.
For long I have walked and walked,
now I would like to rest again in your womb,
dark, luminous, transparent, solid,
like a Nothingness pregnant with the Whole.
You are my song,
You are my pain,
You are my joy,
I am your song,
I am your pain,
I am your joy.
Welcome me, welcome me,
welcome me.
