Sample text

14 I said, No one can tell how my work will manifest for I create the world from all sides. Let your heart’s light guide you to my house. Let your heart’s light show you that we are one. 15 All My Youth Returns ◆ You are the comfort of my soul in the season of sorrow. You are the wealth of my spirit in the heartbreak of loss. The unimaginable, The unknowable— That is what you give my soul when it moves in your direction. By your grace my eyes have looked upon eternity. O King, how could this crumbling empire ever take me from you?

26 God has become everything. He has graced this poet with kindness. Everything I touch and see becomes the fire of love— O Beloved, be like that to me. ◆ The day your love touches me I’ll become so mad that lunatics will run away. The words of a master-poet could never capture the spell that your eyelashes cast upon my heart. 27 He AlsoMade the Key ◆ When I entered the city you moved away. When I left the city you didn’t even look up to say good-bye. I’ll accept your kindness, I’ll accept your insult.

Where are the favors? Where are the wise men? Where are the open doors? ” They are here, from the beginning to the end. ” 31 Enough talk from me. I have died at the Beloved’s feet. No, I am wrong— One who gains life through Him can never die. When the King’s reflection dances upon the earth Mud and stone come to life, brittle trees laugh, barren women give birth. If His reflection can do this Imagine what the light of His Face can do! It is the brightness of every thought, The light animating every soul, The source of life from the Sun to the fourth heaven.
