The Kindred of the Eternal

Drink in my peace,
my dear little baby,
let my arms of love
hold you tight,
let my lips
of eternal safety
cover you with kisses.

Drink in my peace,
my darling little noodle,
so full of
bright curiosity
and goodness,
so battered and thrashed
by the evil of earth. ›

Drink in my peace,
for it will heal you,
drink it in
all the way,
the veriest drop,
till all the divisions within you
dissolve,

till the knots
and burls,
the kinks
and striations
of harried combat
yield and submit
to the glory
and peace
I have in store for you.

An ocean of peace
I have for you,
my love,
a galaxy,
a universe
without end,
filled with your fellow beings
dwelling
and ravishing
in my glory.

Drink in my peace,
my lamb,
for in so doing
you drink in
me.
