My Soul Longs for You...

I am nothing, my Lady;

You Are Everything...

My soul longs for the Truth of Hu.

The flame of this candle shines for You.

My eyes are closed.

I call on Wisdom,
to heal my soul.

Oh, my Lord,

Auwsat,

Blossom in me

like spring rain.

My soul longs for the Truth of Hu.

Hu Says, "No need to hide from the storm,

the clouds bring the waters that make you pure, 
like a fire for old bones. Give Thanks.

It is okay.

Let It Rain."

Even my face reveals its You I'm longing,

tears falling.

My HEART brings my forehead to your feet,

Can you hear me calling?

Alba - Lakachupa. Квамманга 2017

A Haiku it inspired:

The moonlight creates a dance floor-

pagans at a party
leap like deer

You do bad deeds and hope to get back good 

 Though bad deserves bad only in return. 

 God is merciful and kind, but even so, 

 If you plant barley, wheat won't grow.

 #1798, from Rumi's Kolliyaat-e Shams-e Tabrizi .

a quote by beloved Murshid SAM

"The first line of defense is the moral teaching of kindliness, tolerance and compassion. These belong to all religions and to atheism and to philosophy and to science.

They can be advocated at all times and before all peoples. 

If they do not stand as ideals, conflict will necessarily follow.

Christ came to teach not theology but love. Mohammed came only with the Message of Unity, and Buddha taught that it was an attitude, not a form, which raised one into the peace of Nirvana.

The religious will accept the ideas of love, harmony and beauty and the irreligious will accept the ideals of love, harmony and beauty.

So you can find a common standard whereby all may join.
In this way the Sufi Message in time will help greatly to spread the spirit of human brother and sisterhood and so establish peace upon earth.”
