Translucent Love

 Rumi -- I'll wait a thousand years

You want to be Enlightened and exalt thyself in God's Love? 

Love in kind and learn to become possessed and abused -- 

Isn't that called Loving-Kindness, then you make your back available; 

sheltering people in your heart, like an mighty oaktree does birds! 

Possess your time and skills, to throw them on the water, like bread; 

become like water, and the mist --nameless; boundless; formless. 

As you vanish, God becomes more inside of you, and loves in kind! 

Stretch your soul farther, to the outskirts of the underworld... 

What is a life, but pain and suffering; a fleeting moment of despair; 

fill your cup to the brink with tears, and make them nourish the soil. 

Die and be reborn; come forth as the fruit and replenish the spirit; 

bring forth your justice and reckoning; take responcibility of your cause!! 

He who dies with God, shall live again; he who runs from it; withers and burns; 

fear will haunt in the day; calamity devour in the night -- always darkness! 

Even if you would light a thousand suns around your world, still it would become; 

there is a time for grief and the time for misery -- but the world hath forgotten,.. 

If  you love only good things, and only favourable winds, what purpose does it bring; 

you don't shave your mustashe bigger, nor cut the fabric of silk longer! Behold -- 

Death and suffering, is an integral part of Enlightenment, your mirrors will always growl; 

should you not relent, in seeking only the choicest image to watch!! Seek salt not sugar. 

Vinegar is better than honey; wormwood sweeter than mulled wine. For Love is Translucent; 

he who seeks too much, is forsaken; he who takes a Sabatical and contemplates, shall bestow 

itself through her Grace! -- be vindicated and tempered with Gods Love, but be warned... 

May your wishes come true, and in Godspeed, but in then end you'll be judged by the outsome!!
