An Urgent Need To Drown

In the dark abyss of stillness,
Your breath is the only sound I hear, slow and sensuous, light and sonorous,
At this depth, there’s no greed, no want to drink it all, but an urgent need to drown,
Each drop is potent, as it wets the lips,
A rare smile of contentment arises, like a newborn sun from behind the clouds,
In this selfish darkness there’s no other being,
Only I and the one whose breath I breathe.

The Song of the Sufi Masroof
