The ones who are close to Thee
I admire
I adore
When hearing their words
I cry
Out of love
And pain
I understand
Their longing and their sorrow
Will you borrow
Just a grain of their pain?
Just a tiny drop of their love
For Thee?
Their words were left for us
As a token of kindness
We can possess
When taking their words
Into our hearts
When reading their poems
Hearts are moved with love
Feeling the words ascending
From above
Giving way to realization
No separation
Between the master
And creation
