+My Abiding Friend—
+Is enveloped in golden light.
-The bird of dawn begins to sing,
+The bird of dawn
-vibrant with new life.
+Feels like singing,
+Smeared with life's pollen.
-Why all this?
+What is the message?
-In answer to whose call?
+Who is calling?
+Day and night, I seek Him.
-Day and night I seek Him.
+A new light flashes,
-The new light sends forth a blaze of effulgence
+And I flap new wings.
-and beats its new wings of joy.
-My Parmapurusa, my Lord
-is covered with golden light.
