Difference

In you or me,
I see the dream of my soul come alive.
With breath and touch,
universal expansion compares nothing
to our love. 

We weigh more than light.
Are brighter than the foam of the sea
when the high noon sun
glances off its trough.

To say we are eternal
is enough
to send in me in the dream of your soul
and never wake up.

When your hand locks, and clenches
mine, which is  yours, which is ours,
I feel the many different loves of the world
and my soul turns sour,
becoming jealous of itself.

Although our bodies are real,
physical and tangible,
every moment my soul clings harder
to my collarbone
and calls even harder to yours.

In much the same way
the sky accepted the moon and the sun
soon after it split from the earth,
my love and my reality for you
will continue
long after I have gone from this world.

We have filled the difference.

Love is My Religion

“As long as there is duality,
[one's] relationship is with Adam and Eve.
But when duality retreats, the one [reality] is God.
When the path of Lordship (rububiyat) appears,
the dust of humanness departs.”

Entangle me within love,
that I may stumble in ecstasy.
Close my eyes and surround my heart
until all else fades and God is I!

There is no distinction
between the lover and beloved.
Within me there is, without me there is
and in us all He is.

Harmony,
oneness within all.
The Universe is love
and in us all His love.

Open your conscience (qalbi)
to the light of it all,
to the spirituality of love.
