A modest request

(2005)  Asbo bale gele cale

Saying "I will come", You did leave;
But keeping word, You kept forgetting.
Could it be I've no austerity,
So You granted not a speck of mercy?

You are enlightened, the Gem Unembodied;
But in form's basket, tender and charming.
You realize that puny I am lacking sensibility;
So You left to keep in check also my deficiency.

Do I still have any longing?
What You've given has filled psyche.
But fine would it be if in my vicinity,
Having arrived, onto lap You lifted me.
