Mother, I See You
Mother, I See You

Mother, I see You
everywhere shining.
O Mother, may You
see me!
Mother, I hear You
whispering, singing.
O Mother, may You
hear me!
Mother, I touch You,
sun heat and velvet.
O Mother, may You
touch me!
Mother, I love You,
now and forever.
O Mother, may You
love me!
As my fragrance and my flame
rise toward the sky,
send Your perfume on the wind,
sweet with Your gifts of life!
[repeat first four verses]
Mother, I love You,
now and for always.
O Mother, may You
love me!
Notes: Written for Bast in January 2010. Very loosely inspired by the traditional incense prayer (“Your perfume goes to me, O Netjer; may my perfume go to You,” etc.)
