Feelings are guests of the heart
How do we treat our guest?
In the Path of Love, the guest is ‘God’
or a guest of God.
This particular guest arrives without notice and leaves without notice
seat your guest on your finest interior
where heart rules and mind inferior
the guest has a role
listen to her
she has lessons to teach
her language is silence
so listen attentively
when she leaves
is up to her
your job is honor the guest
pen your heart and whirl
or so as inspired
once the lessons are learned
the guest usually
disappears
and when you least expect
it
another shall be sent
these guests are all
messengers of love
why not rejoice
you have a guest
the guest
is a sage
a saint
a mad man
a dancer
an ashiqa
a melancholic
a drunk
honor every visitor
seat her on your
finest interior
where heart rules
and mind inferior
