Your Beautiful Lover

Let Thought Become Your
Beautiful Lover
Let thought become the beautiful Woman.

Cultivate your mind and heart to that depth
That it can give you everything
A warm body can.

Why just keep making love with God’s child– Form
When the Friend Himself is standing
Before us
So open-armed?

My dear,
Let prayer become your beautiful Lover
And become free,

Become free of this whole world
Like Hafiz.
