The Oasis Within

In the desert of my soul,
Where doubt's wind blows,
I wander, searching for the oasis—
To know the Beloved's love.

Through sandstorms and scorching heat,
I trudge the way,
Hoping to find the path
That leads to eternal light.

But as I journey on,
I learn the truth:
The oasis dwelt within me always,
In my heart—the Beloved's proof.

So I sit in meditation
In my mind's silence,
And feel the love that flows,
Divine, of that essence.

And in that peace,
I find myself true,
Connected to the Beloved,
In love, in wholeness.
