You can spin Sufi poetry any way you please.
Give me the Oxford anthology ANY day...
He smiled as he looked up the hill at me.
I was asked if I knew the friend in the sky.
I said nothing. I was frozen in unknowing.

I was nihilism in this moment.

He smiled as he looked up to the sky.
The friend was asked if he knew me.

Hashem made my spirit white light.
Jesus made my spirit gracious.

Whatever fear troubles you
only imagine
it has happened
You will have nothing left
but your Godhood
You will be hurled back
to the center
