The Great Kateri

I befriended God

I befriended the god within,

I asked to be held close and be with me during this time as I ventured into the world of love

To be closer and be held in her arms

As I poured love within and sought nothing outside myself

I asked to be lovers first and to be fully merged with her

Where we were one, in this beautiful union

And here, we would stretch an arm out and invite Other to be part of our love

Freely as love is freedom

And if it worked out or not, I would know not to be attached to it

As I knew the language of god, and I understood it clearly

As I was god.
