Poem 5

"One went to the door of the Beloved and
knocked. A voice asked, 'Who is there?'
He answered, 'It is I.'
The voice said, 'There is no room for Me
and Thee.'
The door was shut.
After a year of solitude and deprivation he
returned and knocked.
A voice from within asked, 'Who is there?'
The man said, 'It is Thee.'

The door was opened for him."
