Jesus was drunk on Divine Light
His donkey was drunk on barley
Intoxicants of varying degrees
will always have varying effects

The dervish sits in the tavern of lovers
drinking Light from cup of
The All-Sustaining One

The light-heat of the sun in its precision
as well as a balanced amount of water
is needed for the flourishing and nourishing
of all organic life

Divine Light and fire of Love
is needed for the growth
of all spiritual life

The gates and windows of the heart
must fully open before the Light of Love
can flood our whole being

Jump into the ocean of love but
know that you are the ocean
as well as the floodgates
the key, the door, and the prison.
