Guru of my heart

You loved me well

dear Guru

dear Guru of my heart
when i was caught in the net of the false

you came and pulled me away

you pointed out another shore in which to sail 

my boat

you pulled me out of rough waters when i was stuck

you washed the sorrow of separation from my soul

you blessed me with your wisdom

that came from the path of your suffering

you gave me the pointings and then left me to live

my life

you followed me back when i ran away

you brought me back to the land of the living

where brightness shines again

and non-dual consciousness can flourish

when i had forgotten my true nature

you came

and when you stepped in

this glorious truth was revealed again

because of your presence

it shined again

you loved me well dear Guru

more than my mother

and father

more than any friend or companion

because you lit the light of truth in my heart

This is why 

you have loved me well
