Divine: Tara

Catching me even when I fall,
That’s what Tara does,
Holding me up like a life preserver,
Though I float down Niagara Falls.

I don’t need a barrel
Or underwater gear,
As long as I’ve got Tara,
Guarding from the rear,

Her green always surrounds me,
Cushioning the ride,
Ensuring a regular course,
As through the water I slide.

No matter how much I falter,
I keep learning how to swim,
No matter how cold or turbulent the water,
I know that I will eventually win,

For Tara’s compassion flows all over,
Moderating the movement of the stream,
Keeping me above water,
Even when the darkness teems;

Although blackness lies below
The light above shines Tara green,
The fearless protector gently glows,
Comforting all who call her name.

So many times I’ve used that safety line
And always she answers,
In her way,
Whenever I ask for help

And then I feel supported
Even in the fiercest storms,
As no tempest saps her strength,
Nor obscures her brilliant light.
