A bolt echoed

I felt a scent
absorbing my soul
a flute of fire
turned me ablaze
in awe I danced
to the presence
of an unseen beauty
a bolt echoed
beyond the sky
I drowned
in a sea
of purple light

Now I am silent
but inside me is turmoil
someone drags my heart
to the threshold
of a Supreme Lover

When love enters
rectangles become spheres
lovers whirl around
like gnats around a lamp
when they touch
that Sacred Source
they burn away
eternally illuminated

(29 Shabaan 1430)
