Swept Away
Poet: Awhad al-Din Kirmani
At first, the way of your love
seemed easy.
I thought I’d reach
your union
with speed.
After taking a few steps,
I found
the way
is an ocean.

OM
Poet: Paramahansa Yogananda
Whence, whence this soundless roar doth come,
When drowseth matter’s dreary drum?
On shores of bliss, Om, booming, breaks!
All earth, all heaven, all body shakes!
