Domain: Taking Refuge in Tara

Tara keep me sane!
Quiet my addled brain,
Guard my steps,
Lest my vessel upsets,

Steady this wobbly boat
And keep it afloat,
Quell this agitated mind,
Prevent it from going blind,

Calm the stormy sea
For how else can I cross to freedom?
But if that’s not the way
Show me how amidst the surf to play!

Keep me in the center of the sea-lane
And protect me from any bane,
Let me not get confused
But see clearly how to navigate my course,

Although I get lost
May my vision penetrate the void,
If I should fall overboard,
May I learn how to dance on the ocean floor!

If my resolve falters,
May I find it even among the turbulent waters
But when the lake is calm
May I continue to sail on,

Never ceasing in my efforts,
Even when the rain lets up,
Preparing for the next challenge,
Not resting too long before striving more

And when again the clouds form,
May I be ready, not caught unawares,
Grateful for Tara’s support
And alert for what’s afoot.
