A poem in 6 parts, starting with the verses

2 : Without desire \
3 : And singing, dancing, wild
with joy \
4 : To be what we were before we
were \
5 : For all that it is \
6 : You must appreciate the setting

Yet do not mistake poverty for poverty
Emptiness is not the true nothingness
(Here she finds all creatures irksome)
Or she finds her own worth worthless
“The beloved passed by but I could not follow”
Or her nature is slain at which point she says
“I am dead but I live”
And then utter incomprehensibility
The total unknowing
Wandering dazed in the deserts of love
Wandering with no mind of its own
“What I know is not lawful to speak
But death can cause no separation here”
See it then-lost to all things
Yet truly, and never more, alive
I could say more but what could I say
Except to proclaim the superfull goodness of the divine!

Cf. by Martin Burke : Reading Meister Eckhart II - This Singing Ground
