Just Be in Love

Peace, one and all…

Just Be in Love 

Forget all that cleverness,
just be in Love.

Forget all those pretences,
just be in Love.

Let your Self open slowly into this sunlit field
and the forests will stand to attention before you.

Receive each new gift in stillness and remembrance.
Let all that weary narrowness fall away

When you reach forth into Love,
even admonitions arrive sealed with a kiss.

Ma’as salama,
Abdur Rahman
