roses

 

my love in secret
sent this secret to me

give me your self
give me your all

go like a wanderer
take to the road

walk calmly into the flames
burn without burning

burn, burn, as the
fire becomes roses

my blasphemies
are what god is

watch the glow of god:
see it mirrored in my eyes

 

Rumi, from Ghazal 2508
