Radiant being of light,
vortex of love,
alchemist supreme,
magnifier of prayer,
mirror of the soul,
tribal fire,
the one I dream about
and the one who wakes me from the dream,
why the dervish spins
and the earth.
Teacher, teaching, and the taught,
first breath,
last breath,
what lovers look for in each other
but rarely find,
center around which everything revolves,
endless night of love
and the aching of a moon-howling heart
that does not want
the morning to come.
