Throw off your tiredness. Let me show you one tiny spot of the beauty that can't be spoken.
You are the Soul and the medicine for what wounds the Soul.
Disharmony prevails when you confuse Lust with LOVE, while the distance between the two is endless!
Listen . Keep silent . You are not gods mouthpiece. Try to be an ear.
Oh lovers, where are you going? Who are you looking for? Your beloved is right here.
