The grief you cry out from

draws you toward union.

Your pure sadness

that wants help

is the secret cup.

    When the sun is gone,
    the soul's clarity fades.
    There is nothing but idiocy and mistakes.
    We are half-dead, inanimate, exhausted.

    The way finite minds most want to be
    is an ocean with a soul swimming in it.
    No one can describe that.
    These words do not touch you.

    When you go to a garden, do you look at thorns or flowers? Spend more time with the roses and jasmine.

    Constantly working, but you do not get paid,
    because what you do seems trivial, like play.

    Now silence.
    Unless these words fill with nourishment
    from the unseen, they will stay empty,
    and why would I serve my friends
    bowls with no food in them?

    Metaphors mentioning the moon
    have no effect on the moon.

    My soul, you are a master,
    a Moses, a Jesus.

    Why do I stay blind in your presence?
    You are Joseph at the bottom of his well.

    You are the living marrow.
    The rest is hay,
    and dead grass does not nourish a human being.

    When you are not here,
    this desire we feel
    has no traveling companion.

    Your misconceptions veil the holy. The Princess is naked
    beneath the surface of every form. Your boredom would
    vanish if you had more of a clue about the Reality I know.

    All these buds will blossom,
    and in that moment you will know
    what your grief was,
    and how the seed you planted has been miraculously,
    and naturally, growing.

    Now silence.
    Let soul speak inside spoken things.

    Love moves further in, where language
    turns to fresh cream on the tongue.

    Every accident, and the essence of every being,
    is a bud, a blanket tucked into a cradle,
    a closed mouth.

    This is how it is to come near you
    A wave of light builds in the black pupil
    of the eye. The old become young.

    The opening lines of the Qur'an open still more.
    Inside every human chest there is a hand,
    but it has nothing to write with.

    ن عشق الموتى ليس دائما، لأن الموتى لا يعودون إلينا.
    وعشق الحى بالنسبة للروح والبصر، أكثر نضارة كل لحظة من البراعم.
