Dedicated to the One Beloved.
The One we all long for, whether we are aware of it or not.
This song was inspired by times of veiled longing and the mystical poem below by Rumi, an 18th century poet and a true spiritual seeker. My hope is that the poem of one so spiritual may form a bridge from the language of our every day lives to the Divine Word, selections of which are to follow in the coming tracks.

lyrics
Deafened by the voice of desire,
You are unaware the Beloved lives
in the core of your heart.
Stop the noise,
And you will hear His voice
in the silence.
Poem by Rumi
as printed in Rumi Hidden Music - Paintings and Poems , p 42
translated by Maryam Mafi & Azima Melita Kolin
She woke up one morning,
with a sense of deep longing.
She followed that longing,
like a map etched into her heart.
Along rivers, through forests,
Across the oceans,
to the deserts and back.
Deafened by the voice of desire,
She was unaware, the Beloved
Lives in the core of her heart.
“Where are you?” “ Who are you?”
“Where are you leading me to?”
The longing was deafening,
fiercely calling out her name.
Along rivers, through forests,
Across the oceans,
to the deserts and back.
Deafened by the voice of desire,
She was unaware, the Beloved
Lives in the core of her heart.
Stop the noise,
stop the noise,
stop the noise.
And you will hear
His voice
in the silence.
You are unaware the Beloved lives
in the core of your heart.
Stop the noise,
And you will hear His voice
in the silence.

Deafened by the voice of desire,
She was unaware, the Beloved
Lives in the core of her heart.
Stop the noise,
stop the noise,
stop the noise.
And you will hear
His voice
in the silence.
