Love is the ultimate refuge.

If you are worried about your ego,

think how much more does it fear this truth?

The hand that plays this sad music

trembles when the composer draws near.

The bow slips from the waist of the cello

and falls to the floor

breaking to pieces in silence.

When the Beloved enters your music room,

you will want to hide all these old scores,

but they will leap into non-existence

burning into nothing

at one glance from Her beauty.

 

Love is the only refuge

from the mercy of deathlessness.

These false jigs and threnodies,

will end soon.

This desperate reaching for a song

other than love,

will fall to bits with your last breath.

If you need a singing partner

choose the songstress

that came with you to this conservatoire.

Her hair falls over your hand

and plays the stings of your heart

leaving your idle tongue gasping for air.

Take asylum now in Her music,

for love is the perfect refuge.

 

 

love
