Kabir

“It is time to put up a love-swing!
Tie the body and then tie the mind so that they
swing between the arms of the Secret One you love,
Bring the water that falls from the clouds to your eyes,
and cover yourself inside entirely with the shadow of night.
Bring your face up close to his ear,
and then talk only about what you want deeply to happen.
Kabir says: Listen to me, brother, bring the shape, face, and odor of the Holy One inside you.”
― Kabir, The Kabir book: Forty-four of the ecstatic poems of Kabir, versions by Robert Bly
