Before Sitting With God Poem by Mohammad Younus

Before sitting with God,
I lived the most stormy life;
I was lost in the depth of good and ill;
The mystery which binds me still:
My ship had to face the torrents...
...of violent sea;
Now I am not as I used to be...
I love the inexorable sweetness...
... of the divinely music;
I love the timeless themes of...
...love, peace and humanity;
I see what others do not see;
I hear what others do not hear;
I drink from eternal spring...
From the same source where,
The lovers' camels drink;
I long to awaken my heart...
...to joy in the divine music eternally;
And hear this music coming...
...through every pore of everything;
I hear! I see! I feel! I enjoy! ...
All alone!
