You are the only womanAllah has bestowed His great Light
To you, Allah has dedicated an entire chapter of the Holy Koran
You are the only woman
Who knows Love as it truly is
The only one who has felt love
At its deepest, most wonderful,
Most painful depths
Allah has reserved for you
A most special place in His Heart
Glory to Maryam,
The Most Beloved
The One who gave
Her soul
Her life
Her love
Her Son
To Allah
As Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son to Allah
Who knows what pain
Maryam went through
To show her faith
Her love
For the Beloved
Who knows what hardship
Maryam endured
To show her love
Who knows her strength amidst
The rejection, the insults, the ridicule
thrown at her
hurled against her
Who knows how alone
She felt then
With only her faith to hold on to.
As alone as I feel now
Alone with the Alone
Only the great Sheikh Ibn Arabi will understand
what I am talking about
For he too, the Seal of the Saints,
Serves the Great Master.
Maryam,
The day you choose to share
Your love with us again
Is the beginning of the end
And life will reach a full circle
Dawn and sunset will become One
Daylight and nightfall will become One
Light and Darkness will become One
And we will all
Return to the One who loves us
For you
are the Mother
of Dawn and Sunset.
