Poem by Hela Tekali Jenayah
How can a Human become the DivineHow can I seek the world of humans
When I have already tasted of the divine nectar
I am taken beyond the mere consciousness
I become one with the universal silence
Joseph fell like the Sun and Moon into my well
I soar into the eyes of the divine
No longer see with my eyes but with His
I was pushed to the original source
I wanted to go back there
My spirit was flowing out of my body
It melted into pure wine
I drank the full cup
Every thirst got satisfied
by hearing with its sober ear the song of the divine
The hearing again turned into bright light
The ear was the tongue that sucked this pure delight
It longed for the music and the dawn
and the warmth of His cheeks against mine.
A great Silence all of a sudden overcomed my being.
I wonder now how a mere human being can become the divine?
