The funny thing is...
When I want to leave
you hold my feet and won't let me go.
You steal my heart,
and sit on top of it.
Because of the secret you whispered,
and the moon you revealed,
Love's wind whirls in my head
and my heart loses its hands and feet.
You pass many nights in vigil,
and soar across this sky-dome with the
wings of fasting,
in love with flight.
You saw me lost, waving and crying,
and said, "I am the guide.
I'll show you the road
for which you have been searching."
I'm hidden behind the wall
and yet I'm right beside you.
You are opressed and suffering,
yet I am near.
You who are anxious to get
where you think you're going,
I'll make your dreams come true.
I'll cook well every pot you try to boil.
My friend, you thought you lost Him;
that all your life you've been separated
from Him.
Filled with wonder,
you've always looked outside for Him,
and haven't searched within your own house.
The funny part is
that in that search,
Beauty has always accompanied you.
Wherever you have been,
He is the One holding your hand.
Keep looking for Him with Him;
You and He are on the same road.
O Beloved, You're so obvious
You're hidden from sight!

I did too. Got it through opening a book when I asked for guidance.
Love to you! |

Have to admit, that is some pretty sublime verse.
