> O Eternal Friend,
You who are closer than the breath,
Yet vaster than the stars,
I have wandered the deserts of men's hearts
Only to find You hidden within my own.
> Let my tongue be silent
And my heart speak in the language of Light.
Strip me of the robe of ego,
That I may walk naked into Your Presence.
> Every wound I bear is a doorway to You.
Every sorrow, a polishing of the mirror.
Let me not flee the fire—
For it is Your kiss in disguise.
> O Love that dies not,
Pour Yourself into this cup of clay
Until the vessel shatters
And only You remain.
> I came not to be crowned,
But to disappear in the scent of Your Name.
Let my soul dissolve
Like sugar in the wine of Your mercy.
> This is the secret You whispered
Before the world began:
'Lose yourself,
And you will find Me waiting.'
> Ameen
