Joy

[NikolaiI]

Allah Most Beautiful,
you are a secret I cannot keep.

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
As I begin, may peace illuminate my heart,
as there is Beauty before me,
Beauty behind me,
Beauty above me,
Beauty below me,
Beauty within,
And beauty in all the ten directions.

Beloved Allah,
I cannot keep this secret,
Each soul is potentially divine.

Beloved Allah,
Your heart I have seen.
I cannot keep this secret,
But I wish for all to know -
Your heart is one with all hearts,
an eternal Flame,
an infinite Light,
the source and center of all forms,
the true nature of all forms,
your Divine Energy.

May peace reign.

Beloved Allah,
You have unlimited names.
Lord Amitabha,
Lord Shakyamuni,
Lord Bhaisajyaguru.
I speak not of the power of your Name,
for I will not diminish the power of such a secret,
nor could I, but still I refrain.

Beloved Allah,
Well you are known as Krishna,
Lord Vamanadeva,
Sri Narayana Rishi,
Sri Veda Vyas,
Gopala,
Jagannath,
Mahadeva.

Beloved Allah,
I cry for your love and wisdom.
You are my light in darkness,
You are mother Earth,
who cradles her children closely in the dark of space.
Beloved Mother Goddess,
You are so close,
and yet so far away.

All I do is open my eyes,
to find your hand in mine.
My heart cannot contain your love,
as it comes passing through.

Solemn, tranquil, Bhaisajyaguru,
Many know you this way.
Many others know you as abundantly joyful,
and many never see you,
As you bind up their wounds.

Lord Shakyamuni,
Beloved and honoured in the three worlds,
Our leader in this age.
We call for your guidance,
to help us through.

All Buddhas, come near me,
Sow peace in my soul.

Beloved Allah,
You are the Source of Being,
the Source of Love.
As I once saw you,
please guide all souls to you -
In your divine consciousness,
infinite peace, bliss, and existence radiate from you.
In the center is infinite calm.
You are beyond all worlds and all forms.

In my heart is your heart,
And in your soul all hearts beat as one.
Beloved Allah, Your lovers look within,
And see only You.

What an astonishing tribute and heartfelt work of praise!

Nikolai, I like the universality of Divinity in our poem, particularly when Allah, Krishna, Buddha are named together, and this would have made me all the happier had you added Jesus in your poem. In fact this idea helps us to feel at one with each other in a world of fragmented ideologies that break up relationship.

In fact if all the religions of the world become integrated into a single universal religion I would choose to be a religious man. Today to be religious is to be fragmented, divided,polarized and that distanced me from religiosity and with your new religious philosophy that, a unified approach I get glued more towards relgion.

I really like and agree with the concept and theme of the poem

However from an aesthetic view I find you use a lot of cliches
