Don't Be Afraid ... By Jafar Alam ...



Just as the reed bed cries
Of seperation from the flute
So too, does my soul cry
For union with the Beloved ...

People chase after the shadow
And forget about the Real ...

Why take the shell
When you can have the pearl ???

Don't be afraid

Dive deep into the Ocean 
Dive deep ... And forever be drenched
With the sweetness of Love 

The rock that is touched by rain
Shall always be a rock ...
So be ye, like the earth
Which softens with each blessed drop ...

How foolish I am trying to
Explain Love with words ...

Silence ...

I shall speak no more ...

What you need to know about Love
Lays in your hearts core (c)
