You're an island in whose shores I arrived
Your breath is the breath that drew me in tide by tide
What a great yearning it has been
To experience my inner being
Aum
I had to empty myself for you
To make space for two
Little did I know that
I was dissolving in you
What a fool I was
To count your ways
Now that I have been
Kissed by your grace
