Step Beyond Yourself... Poem by Mohammad Younus

Step beyond yourself, ...
...for the path is but a...
...single stride.
Beg from within, ...
...for outside lies naught...
...but emptiness.
To find love, lose yourself;
But only the selfless this secret...
...truly know.
Embrace separation...
...in hope of union, ...
...for love bears its weight.
Roses bloom with thorns, ...
...blood must be shed...
...for beauty's sake.
Seek the secret of the pearl...
...from the dervish of the deep.
In love's realm, ...
...there's no room for...
...dogma or doubt.
Strive for love by transcending...
...time and space.
Today is all there is!
Tomorrow holds no lover's care!
Forget silver and gold!
True treasure lies within.
