In the Arms of the Beloved

O my Beloved,

I searched both worlds

but never found joy without you.

I have seen many wonders

but never a wonder like you.

I pressed my soul's ear

against countless doors

but never heard words as sweet as yours.

Every question I ask is about you,

Every step I take is toward you.

I slept well last night

But I woke up drunk

I must have dreamt about you.
