New Hemispheres Series
MY SECRET BELOVED
sent me a secret message
give me your soul
give me your life
wander like a drifter
go on a journey
walk into this fire with grace
be like a salamander
come into our source of flame
fire transmutes to a rose garden
don't you know that my thorn
is better than the queen of roses
don't you know my heresy
is the essence of spirituality
then surrender your spirit
surrender your life"
oh God i know
a garden is better than a cage
i know a palace
is better than a ruin
but i'm that owl in this world
who loves to live in the ruins of love
i may be that poor wandering soul
but watch all the aspiration and light
watch the glow of God
reflecting from my face
-Hafiz
