Oh Beloved
Oh Beloved - meaning Summary
Total Surrender to the Divine
This short lyric reads as an intense prayer for complete surrender to the Beloved, understood as a divine presence. The speaker asks to be taken, liberated, and filled with love, pleading to be severed from worldly attachments and the duality of ordinary life. Desire, action, and need are offered up and even burned away if they obstruct union. The poem centres on loss of self as the price of spiritual unity.

Oh Beloved, take away what I want. Take away what I do. Take away what I need. Take away everything that takes me from you.
