"...One day your heart will take you to your lover.
One day your soul will carry you to your Beloved.
Don’t get lost in your pain,

Know that one day your pain will be your cure.
I can’t pretend to be a lion able to conquer the enemy,

To master myself would be enough.
I am only the dust on my Lover’s path

and from dust I will rise and turn into a flower,
Dark like the night I mourn and hold the pain of love inside me.
But bright like the Moon I will rise from the darkness
For I have seen the source of light and being a child
Whose tutor is love I will not grow up ignorant.
I will rise like a flame out love’s fire and become infinite like love.
When I reach my end, play the music
that will lift me up to Spirit..."
