Tu fuiste la luna, Que reprodujo mi ser, Yo soy el sol que en tu pecho, Suenos infundio
English Translation:
You were the moon, that reproduced my being, I am the sun that in your chest, infused dreams
* * *
Love, like a leaf in the wind, aimlessly it seems; so a tide trembles unseen below the surface of every face.
There is a Sea upon which the Mysteries of Love move. Let Her carry you away, guided by Her own destiny. Do not hesitate, asking, "Where?"
My Friend, no one is wiser than the one who says to Her, though knowing not Her ways, "Yes."
* * *
The heat of a fire, a flame hidden, alone, living blissfully within us; Love rests within the breathing.
* * *
Do not seek the Beloved. Open your chest only where dwells the heart of hearts - welcoming the Treasure.
When you find Her necklace around your neck, take it off and pull the world into your joyful embrace.
* * *
There is a Place words are spoken no one hears - Listen!
