Would I follow in his footsteps of heart
sublime love greatest shayk ibn' Arabi
Travelling a path from Murcia through
a wasteland of deserts of all the seed
Finding that there is just only One
Yeshua One Muhammed One Truth
When Mansur bespoke His Universe
and blessed the extinction of my ego
Sand on Mediterranean dunes swirled
as my feet zealously followed that love
But the end would not come - no - not
in Damascus where the I transformed
As my I met this Guardian of Seekers
sending the soul yet even further east
Studying inner, inward and hidden
and so exoteric becoming esoteric
Touching the smiling face of a poet
shielded by a traditional household
Yet growth will happen for the sister
in the land of the sun she will teach
She will be unity and rid self-blame
tasawwuf as only a woman can do
She will be loved, she will be Truth,
smiling seriously, she'll reach Kashf
And as her spirit will join this 'son of Plato' in Fana
there, there my shaykhah you will I ask your favour
And lead the tribes in Yaqin, you greatest of Gnostics,
all Aql, that day of Judgment, to the plain of Assembly
