My heart has become able To take on all forms...by Ibn Arabi

My heart has become able
To take on all forms.
It is a pasture for gazelles,
For monks an abbey.

It is a temple for idols
And for whoever circumambulates it, the Kaaba.
It is the tablets of the Torah
And also the leaves of the Koran.

I believe in the religion
Of Love
Whatever direction its caravans may take,
For love is my religion and my faith.

~ Ibn Arabi
from Perfect Harmony: (Calligrapher's Notebooks) ,

Between Your eye and this page...by Hafiz

Between
Your eye and this page
I am standing.

Between
Your ear and sound
The Friend has pitched a golden tent
Your spirit walks through a thousand times
A day.

Each time you pass the Kaaba
The Sun unwinds a silk thread from your body.
Each time you pass any object
From within it
I bow.

If you are still having doubts
About His nearness
Once in a while debate with God.

Between
Your eye and this page Hafiz
Is standing.

Bump
Into me
More.

~ Hafiz
