I Accept It Now Poem by Mystic Qalandar

I accept it now—

even if I never see you
the way you see me,
even if my heart leans
toward you.

It is okay.

For you have reminded me
of who I truly am.

I am pretty,
I am perfect.
Not one who sees herself
as low, imperfect,
or separate from you.

I am talented,
brilliant,
Gnostic,
wise.
Not the one who dwells
in illusion, in delusion—
a mark not given me
on the Day of Alast.

I am a soul
passing quietly,
a name raised above angels,

Special,
in the image of the Gracious,
the Caliph of God.

And I know—
my seed is louder
than that of others.

I try
to give myself
to the Truth.
I do not see flaws
before beauty,
nor a void
without the Truth.

I love all manifestation—
even what has yet to manifest.

But still…

I cannot claim
that my heart is mine.
It is surely yours.

My love for you
is your love for me.

For deep inside,
I already know—
this is your home.

I am only a friend.
I am not a stranger.

And that is enough.

I carry this truth
in quiet hands,
I let it live,
with all the love
I am.

I am yours.
And you are mine.
