from our dear brother Chiedu Nwangwu

O friend, can't you see? ­
Your face is flowing with light.
    The whole world could get drunk
    on the love found in your heart.

Don¹t run here and there
    looking all around ­
He is right inside you.

Is there any place where the Sun doesn¹t shine?
Is there anyone who can¹t see the full Moon?

    Veil upon veil, thought upon thought ­
    Let go of them all,
    For they only hide the truth.

Once you see the glory
Of his moon-like face,
    what excuse could you have
    for pain and sorrow?

Any heart without his love ­
even the king¹s heart ­
    is a coffin for the dead.

Everyone can see God
    within his own heart ­
    everyone who is not a corpse.
Everyone can drink
    from the waters of life
    and conquer death forever.

The veil of ignorance
    covers the Sun and Moon;
It even causes Love to think, "I am not divine."

O Shams, Blazing Light of Tabriz ,
There are still some secrets of yours
that even I cannot tell.

Nature is the Programmer

Nature is the programmer we work with Inside
Bringing each of us one hell of a unique and bumpy ride
As were moving towards the illuminated worlds with in
Needing to build new Sensors to truly begin
But to begin we must reveal just how opposite we truly are
So we can become equal to the Light which is really hard
This is why Creation divided to so many different parts
All to give Man a chance and a real place to start
Giving us a method for a true inner connection
As we form this introspection
For true success can not happen with out a concern
About whether the world comes to a scale of merit or just burns
