The Stillness Is The Dance Poem by Abdul Samad

If you knew what I know
If you could see what I see
And hear what I hear

Then you would find meaning in nothingness
And appreciate the everlasting beauty of paradox
The Wisdom of the Lord who made both day and night
Sin and virtue, light and darkness, heaven and hell
The Lord who is the breath inside the breath
The One who taught Adam the name of all things
The Just King, the Omnipotent Lord, the All Knower

If you could love what I love
And desire what I desire
Union with the Supreme Essence

Then you would realize that as the inner self dances
In the certitude of the Lord's Mercy and Grace
The inner and the outer worlds become one, indistinguishable
And the Stillness becomes the Dance

Only if you could open the inner eye
And search for the One who awaits to be found in your heart
