Wide apart we seemed at first
Just a small talk here and there
I had no clue it would lead anywhere
That little feeling I get
When I remember your smile
Or when I saw you soaking wet
Such an innocent thing
I tried to keep locked inside
But this feeling, I cannot hide
I wish I had the words to say
How you make me feel inside
Is better than I could pray
I don’t know if you feel
The same things I do for you
Just know, that my feelings are true.
One soul wanders in life on a search
Wandering in darkness, wallowing without a perch
It seeks its companion, knowing neither whom nor where
It knows only the search, and that it must prepare
One day it shall find the Light
The beauty of the other fair soul
Dod is keen at first sight
The goal of Love, Dodi, still seeks this soul.
Strengthen desire, but remain thou in check
I adjure, stir not until love awaken;
Stay in bounds until the three at once bedeck
That soul now found, and by Love be taken.
Strengthen ra’a, but know thy bound
For the mind knows reason, ra’yati thou know
That which this soul seeks from the soul just found
Not just for beauty, not just for show.
Strengthen ‘ahava, but know no bound
I adjure thee now, the two souls are become one
With thee, in two souls now Love is found
One soul to another, two lives become one
Dodi, Ra’yati, with God we are found
Dod, Ra’a, and ‘Ahava are in Love found as one
Body, mind, and soul, a man is in three
Dod, ra’a, and ‘ahava, so to is Love in three
Two souls become one before man
So too before God, they share in His Plan.
