your song
can grow love anywhere
it has wings
to reach the outermost stars
your music
speaks to the One i love
the secrets
i cannot utter
in words

i have become
an open, aching heart
filled with a turning,
twisting pain
that flames
my perpetual longing-blaze
curving, lengthening,
kissing the sky

calling out
the one Name it knows

sing, fakeer,
sing that Name

carry me
on the wings of your song
straight
into my Beloved’s heart
