This is such an amazing poem. It was written by a man from Persia, called Rumi, in the 13th century. It's called "The Alchemy of Love"
You come to us
from another world
From beyond the stars
and void of space.
Transcendent, Pure,
Of unimaginable beauty,
Bringing with you
the essence of love
You transform all
who are touched by you.
Mundane concerns,
troubles, and sorrows
dissolve in your presence,
Bringing joy
to ruler and ruled
To peasant and king
You bewilder us
with your grace.
All evils
transform into
goodness.
You are the master alchemist.
You light the fire of love
in earth and sky
in heart and soul
of every being.
Through you loving
existence and nonexistance merge.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane
becomes sacred again.
