Come to me, Oh my soul,

come give me a sign.

Are you with me, Oh my soul,

are you so divine?

Where do you slumber, Oh my soul,

are you even here?

Do you listen, Oh my soul,

do you even care?

Why do you mock me, Oh my soul,

with your response so muted?

Have you answered, Oh my soul,

and your answer I refuted?

You don't understand! Oh my soul,

Your ability must be lack!

For why would you answer, Oh my soul,

in ways that fade to black?

Isn't it you, Oh my soul,

that brought your light to me?

For why would I know, Oh my soul,

I might connect with thee?

Had you not shown me, Oh my soul,

a glimmer of your light,

we would not be talking, Oh my soul,

much to my delight!

It's blissful blankness, Oh my soul,

for which I do now long.

A wish for yesterday, Oh my soul,

a tune from a different song.

Now I have it! Oh my soul,

an answer to my prayers.

I could die, Oh my soul,

then I would find you there!

You could not evade me, Oh my soul,

even you could not deny,

Revealing yourself, Oh my soul,

if I looked you in the eye.

But what of death, Oh my soul,

what if you trick me again?

And bring me back, Oh my soul,

to be your lonely friend.

A thousand times, Oh my soul,

I've languished at this junction.

Ten thousand years, Oh my soul,

for time there seems no function.

What's my longing, Oh my soul,

to grasp what I did glimpse?

Why would you show me, Oh my soul,

my limits you did not sense?

You're the one, Oh my soul,

with all the truth and knowledge.

You're the one, Oh my soul,

you placed me in this college.

You must come forward, Oh my soul,

for I am a limited being.

You must move towards me, Oh my soul,

I cannot clear my seeing.

Is this your mission, Oh my soul,

to tempt me with your wonder?

To hold the carrot, Oh my soul,

just to watch me blunder?

Until I give up? Oh my soul,

and ask the final question?

Until I realize, Oh my soul,

there really is no mission?

Must I look within, Oh my soul,

and see something that's new?

Something that's been there, Oh my soul,

obvious and in full view?

Have you been there, Oh my soul,

for lo, the full millennia?

Have you been there, Oh my soul,

creating my dementia?

Waiting for me, Oh my soul,

to look to you and see,

To stop the wailing, Oh my soul,

stop looking and just be?

Have you come, Oh my soul,

in all these many lives,

because for you, Oh my soul,

there's no such thing as strife?

Have you relished, Oh my soul,

my every waking hour?

And blessed each
