I saw you, upright and tall,
facing away
at a distance
on the bare sandy earth
in your flowing brown robe.

Your arms opened wide,
beckoning me
to come to you,
while you were facing away...

I could sense your kindness
and soft smiling eyes.

Is this truly an invitation?

I have spent a week wondering
why,
why were you
facing away? .

You reply,
answering only
reality curves.

Now
I can see your radiating love
coming over the horizon,
circling the whole world,
embracing it,
pouring in
all around me.

Whatever way
you face
where ever I go,
your cloak is around me.

You are the scent of paradise
embracing everything.
