Fully aware

Love, you made me.
Love, you gave me freedom.
Love, you invited me to live forever,
if I choose.
 
Is it in loving life
that living becomes natural?
Does learning to love myself
lead to eternal life?
 
Life forever in love.
 
Let me see the blessings
coming my way.
Let me look you in the eye
and thank you.
Let me show you how much I mean it,
and see how much I mean to you.
 
Open my mind, take me by awe,
make me lose my words, but let me find the wonder
of million faces of you.
Let me find my place
to complete the picture.
 
The full glory of you.
 
Standing on the shoulders of others,
I can't get to you alone.
I depend, and I support.
I belong.
 
I take what I am given,
but when I need to,
help me be strong to let go.
 
Let me choose what I desire.
Let my desires be pure.
Distilled from the attractions that distract.
 
I desire to see clearly,
to have patience to wait.
Until the urge subsides
and excitement abates.
 
I want my pride get blown away,
my fears melt,
and self pity to show its true distorted face.
 
Then the purpose will reveal itself.
 
I will know what I am here for.
How I can become a part of you.
Stay with you.
 
Fully aware,
for the rest of the times.
