sufi - the path

Abandoned, Forsaken
I lay trembled and shaken

Consumed by the wrath of my desires which failed to be

There was none by my side
I had no emotion to hide

All I had with me, was my being, my destiny

"What if the skies were white all night? Would you

still be dreaming, with no star gazing upon thee?"

Yes, if there be no star in heaven, I promise you I'd be my

star in every reality.

Why look above me to find light?

What lay within me is the brightest of bright!
Feeling, emotion, breath and all that is true

I create my reality, I paint my ocean blue.

I felt warm, moreover I felt powerful! It is because I am so

attached to I. It's been my most eloquent teacher. I can see I breathe. At

times I am just a tiny spec in the universe, an over-rated grain of sand. At

times I do not wish to be defined.

Still Standing
Learning to love beyond redemption

Waiting to fall

As rain, dried up due
To moist your mouth, cleanse your being

Only to remind you, my being is about enchanting you

I journey from suchness to isness and back. With the whole

cosmos being frozen in time and emotion, I feel it is safe to overcome my fear.

What is my fear? My fear is no emotion, it is no act, and it is not my survival

instinct.

My fear is that vibration that questions my existence. It is when I have no stomach and I am hungry. It is when I have no eyes, yet I'm tempted.

"You have a being to dream!"

I dream my way through. I then see it all fitting into the picture.

I ask of you my lord

Free me of desire

Free me of deed

I wish to be ruth

Passing over from seed to seed

I wish to be warm

I wish to be bright
I wish to be

In the deepest of depths, In the highest of all height

"There is none to be released? Then what is thy action?

What is thy deed?"

There is none awaiting, it is my being that is endlessly emanating

am release, I am forever freeing

I am the eye who is forever seeing

I am divinity in love, forever being

Unchartered, Unperturbed

Truest when unheard
Brilliant when unseen

I am love, eternal

I am here to be, until all being has been

This is where I begin to emanate. I understand the true nature of being.
The Sun doesn't be for the Earth. The Earth doesn't be for the Seed.

It is in witness, that one truly flowers; as there unfolds thy nature, thy deed.

"What if I cease to witness thee, in love, in ruth, in sobriety?"

You are me

You cannot not be

With every breath, you I reprise

I love you with a blinking mind, a rising heart and nascent eyes
