Elixir

 O Beloved, 

What is this intoxication I feel? 

Greater than the mountains, 

Stronger than the wine, 

Is it the elixir of life or the sweet freedom of death?

You are near yet far, 

You are in everything and nothing. 

You are above and below; 

You are in them and in me.

What is this trick you play, O Lover?

This Fakira surrenders her soul to you, 

She is nobody, no identity, 

Just a floating cluster of energy in Your chaos.

You open up with all Your mysteries 

Only when I am ready to drink from your cup, 

Filled with knowledge to quench my thirst for You. 

Unlearning all that I acquired in the journey, 

You light up my path in new realisation. 

Reveal your treasures in front of my eyes, 

And let this Fakira open up to you 

With all that You have left in me, 

Hope, Faith and Love.
