"Lost in the Sky of Love"

The shadows of evening fall thick
and deep, and the darkness of love
envelops the body and the mind.
Open the window to the west, and be
lost in the sky of love;
Drink the sweet honey that steeps the
petals of the lotus of the heart.
Receive the waves in your body: what
splendor is in the region of the
sea!
Hark! the sounds of conches and bells
are rising.
Kabir says: "O brother, behold! the
Lord is in this vessel of my body."

~ Kabir, The Mystic in Love : A Treasury of Mystical Poems by Gross, Shelley
