Believe!

If you are on fire, come swim in My Ocean,

If you cannot reach My Shore,

Wait for My Rain Clouds,

If you are buried in soil,

Wait for My River to cleft

Its way to you, My love.

I have not seen your record,

I have not read your report,

I am only looking at the Sun

Which is lighting the passages of your heart And setting alight, Your Book of Errors.

If you burn, do not be anxious,

If you hurt, do not think you are forgotten, Have I not been your solace Through all of your years?

You are My Gift

A nanosecond of My Sublime Imagination

And wrought in My Mercy and My Love

For Muhammad.

Why despair?

Do you think I do not care?

My Love for you is the similitudes

Of an infinite Seas of Love

Lapping upon your sorrowful shore.

Of an infinite horizon of white clouds

Waiting to rain on your barren soil.

Oh my servant!

Believe.
