From deep within my heart
I always catch
the scent of my Beloved.
How can I help but
follow that fragrance?
Last night
I was walking through Love's garden
where a glimmer of my soul
became a teeming river of light!
Laughing roses sprang up along the banks.
Dazzling waters rolled past the thorns of being
with speed enough to elude the sword of death.
Every tree and blade of grass danced in the meadow.
But to an eye without this vision,
all seemed plain and ordinary.
Suddenly a great cypress shot up from the ground!
The whole garden roared with delight
the jasmines exploded,
the broad-leafed trees clapped their hands.
I always catch
the scent of my Beloved.
