I Seek Divine Contact

 

The love inherent in my soul

and the longed-for meditation in accordance with self-discipline

 

lead to concentration on the inner experience for mystical transformation of the self that seeks to annihilate the ego.

Music and poetry are elevated expressions of the Sufi soul,

they embody in me

the true essence of life.

What is more fantastic than the music that the beloved plays

while she dances to that sweet rhythm

 

or even more lively

lifts her feet from the impulse of the inspiring melodies?

Imaginative fantasy suggests that it could also be the other way around.

Music is the bridge covered with pure essence between me and the Divine.

 

Dance Steps

 

My feet cannot be silent at the sound of the music that vibrates every moment inside my soul and that moves the steps even just walking to rise even more in dancing to the rhythm of universal melodies.

 It is from that smiling joy that flowers snap that only you are allowed to pick and smell the fragrance emerging from the fertile pistils

to the thought inebriates to continue the dance without stopping in the visible fruits of passion in an astral conjunction of the indissoluble trio of two wholes and the universality of seven notes and five lines of the pentagram

It is this magical together that originates the emptying of ink jugs and the filling of blank pages where there is continuous rhythmic hopping or taking steps in continuing to find and seek each other to then be reborn at the touch of other musical instruments.
