Awakening

 I wander aimlessly in the thirst for knowledge

Aware am I not?

Questions shroud my sleepless nights,

Awakened am I not?

I looked for you in idols and stones 

Temples, mosques, churches and domes

I looked for you in the rain and the sun 

Seasons that change, time that runs.

In the chaos and the rules, 

In the wise and so-called fools.

Looking for a soul in despair

To answer what I ask in dare 

Alone, hopeless, I look into the mirror 

And there a soul I see very clear 

Enlightened, I smile, 

As You call from the Divine, 

Answering the riddles of Time.

I am You and You are I, 

Now I will not live any more in a lie; 

I am your seeking student, just like Rumi, 

In the path of Love, you show me.

You are my guiding star, Sufistic 

Like Shams, the mystic.
