by Yahia Lababidi.
A mystic is a tormented soul who surrenders
the turmoil of violent passions to the Lord
—entrusts Him, alone, with their burning body
The spiritual journey is one of great risk
in perpetual danger of spilling over…
a long night of wild terror precedes safety
Proceed with caution, pilgrim,
you have been, gravely, warned:
Here, moral harm is immortal.
