You are in me,
flickering at the core of silence,
a hidden flame that breathes
through the hollow of my being.
...
Behind iron bars, the nightingale still sings
Its anthem of freedom—unbroken.
The cruelest world cannot smother
The dawn blazing bright in its heart!
...
To my heart, the bird's song comes—
Whispered tales of an ancient king,
Not bound to earth, but robed in eternal sky,
Where time unwinds
...
I was once a lion
of unseen wilds—
my roar, a clap of thunder;
my gaze, a lightning strike.
...
Remember this truth:
You were not born to fade
like mist at dawn,
nor to vanish into shadows.
...
My love, your words
Draw radiant rivers beyond time,
Flowing through sleeping valleys,
Through forests where shadow weeps—
...
Do not speak of me as gone.
I was never a fragment to be lost,
but the unbroken whole beneath all form—
the light without a wick,
...
In dawn's embrace, the curtain parts,
The larks arise from veiled hearts.
Their wings, like kundal, shimmering bright,
Reflect the Face beyond all sight.
...
He will never come—rest assured.
In Jewish tradition, the Messiah is awaited;
Christians await the return of Jesus;
Muslims speak of the Mahdi.
...
A secret pulled from dark into light—
full and bright with the heart's steady beat,
singing past time's edges.
