What a beautiful poem! I especially like the last two lines... but I understand the entire plea/longing.

Surrender

" O Thou of whom I am the instrument ,
        O secret Spirit and Nature housed in me ,
Let all my mortal being now be blent
        In Thy still glory of divinity .

I have given my mind to be dug Thy channel mind ,
        I have offered up my will to be Thy will ;
Let nothing of myself be left behind ,
       In our union mystic and unutterable.

My heart shall throb with the world-beats of Thy love,
       My body becomes Thy engine for earth-use :
In my nerves and veins Thy rapture's streams shall move;
       My thoughts shall be hounds of Light for Thy power to loose.

Keep only my soul to adore eternally
And meet Thee in each form and soul of Thee ."

                                  Sri Aurobindo
