NA PUCHH (DON'T ASK)

There is no love or intimate companion in the life nor there was in the past so thought this would be most apt lines for today.

Read whole gazal if possible, it's beautiful.

[meuceph]

You are afraid of life? But, you too are life We too are life You are afraid of man? But, you too are human We too are human Still you are afraid? Man is speech Man is expression To the iron bond Uniting utterance and meaning Man is connected Life is tied to his sleeves You must not be afraid of that Afraid of the unsaid Afraid of the moment That has not yet arrived Afraid of even the awareness Of the coming of that moment Even now, you accept fear? We have seen the times Before Of inaccessibility Of guileless divinity And yet you believe To desire is worthless This night of silenced tongues Is the path To divinity How will you know though if those lips don’t move Hands begin to stir Hands begin to call Like the Azan at dawn You’re afraid of Light?? But, you too are light We too are light Still you are afraid of light? As in the journey of love The traveler’s blood soars A new passion leaps Man is consumed with it though he laughs, look! The city is reborn in love Still you are afraid?
