Glow of your Presence
Where have you taken your sweet song ?
Come back and play me a tune.
I never really cared for the things of this world.
It was the glow of your presence
that filled it with beauty.

Kiss God
When no one is looking
and I want to kiss God,
I just lift my own hand to my mouth.

Story of pure Mirrors
Body of earth,
don’t talk of earth
Tell the story of pure mirrors ,
The Creator has given you this splendor,
Why talk of anything else?

Only vision
The only vision I have is your sight
The only thing I follow is your light.
Everyone finds his repose in sleep,
Sleep from my eyes has taken flight.

Only Divine
Watching my hand; divine is moving it.
Hearing my voice; divine is speaking…
Walking from room to room —
No one here but…. only divine

Bigger Play
A new challenge everyday
You keep away and delay;
When I act to close the gap
Fate says there is a bigger play.

Light of Truth
Now comes everlasting beauty.
Now comes abundant grace,
Now comes boundless purity.
The infinite treasure is shining,
The mighty ocean is roaring,
The morning of grace has come —
Morning? — No!
This is the eternal Light of God!
Who occupies this beautiful form?
Who is the ruler and the prince?
Who is this wise ? —
Nothing but a veil.
The wine of love removes these veils.
Drink with your head and your eyes —
Both your eyes,
and both your heads!
Your head of clay is from the earth,
Your pure awareness is from heaven.
O how vast is that treasure
which lies beneath the clay!
Every head you see depends on it!
Behind every atom of this world
hides an infinite universe.
O Saaqi, free us from the facade of this world.
Bring wine — barrels full!
Our eyes see too straight —
straight past the truth!
The Light of Truth shines from Tabriz.
It is beyond the beyond
yet it is here,
shining through every particle of this world.

Blanket of Love
“There are different wells within your heart.
Some fill with each good rain,
Others are far too deep for that.
In one well
You have just a few precious cups of water,
That “love” is literally something of yourself,
It can grow as slow as a diamond If it is lost.
Your love
Should never be offered to the mouth of a
Stranger,
Only to someone
Who has the valor and daring
To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife
Then weave them into a blanket
To protect you.
There are different wells within us.
Some fill with each good rain,
Others are far, far too deep
For that.”

Sunrise
What is the name
of the deep breath I would take
over and over
for all of us?
Call it
whatever you want, it is
happiness,
it is another one
of the ways to enter
fire.

Sunrise
