Grandeur

By Nafisa Khushnasib Ghazanfar

Your world
is not just these few suns and moons,
nor merely its days and nights.
You have yet to see
the hidden continents of love!

You are not yet
the sovereign of your own mind.

Fall in love!
So that your soul
may embrace a vastness
beyond imagination.

Discover one of the continents
within yourself.
Be the explorer
of your own uncharted lands.

Read the stories
of millions of years of your life
from the mirror of your soul,
with all your being.

Know this:
Discover yourself!
So that you may become
a million times more beautiful,
and a billion times more loving—
until grandeur and splendor
dissolve you completely!
