LOVE…a modern Sufi poem
The Idea
Aurora’s pastel fingers caress the eastern sky
as waking birds with joyful song proclaim the dawning day.
*You are my dawn, and my heart wakes, singing
The Mechanism
Catalytic winds stir Earth in cycles of creation
bearing seeds and nourishment and Weather’s shaping hand.
*The winds of your mind blow new thoughts across mine,
which implant, grow, and bear Ideas.
The Energy
Sun’s warm radiation pours energy of life
into Earth’s waiting creatures, and they grow and multiply.
*You are my Sun, filling my being with Vitality
The Pattern
Circling Moon directs the work with luminescent gravity
inspiring rhythmic patterns for the music of Creation
*You are my Moon, moving my life in new directions.
The Quest
Mother Ocean’s offspring leave for space’s greater ocean
within each drop a memory of its primeval source.
*Your Spirit soars with mine, seeking the original Ocean of Love.
The Rebirth
The quiet night slips round the sphere and Love’s Ideas rest
Their joyful song of Life restored to face tomorrow’s quest.
*You blanket my weariness in the exquisite comfort of your Love.
