I know you through
A heart that empties itself
To receive through giving
Like a candle that extinguishes itself to enlighten
And eyes that close themselves from everything
That exists to look beyond existence
To glaze at the source and reason of being
I know you through ears that shut themselves
From all sounds and noises in the universes
To listen to the pulse of the heart beats
Reciting the wordless verse
Of the falling of the leaf
The rhyme of the reed
Dancing to the wind’s symphony
The choreography of the clouds
Curtain raising for rainfall
The soft rhythm of raindrops
Singing a song only heard
When one unravel the hidden lyrics
In tranquil recital of the lake and the oasis
The solemn meditation of lush green valley
The aura of the sea
The sagacious verse
Of heart thumping measureless rhymes
The silent evocation of the earth
The song of the birds in the sky
The recital of the fishes in the sea
Reciting in exaltation of the Maker
