Drink from the cup my love And let the taste of life encompass your palette Feel the beauty of the world and allow it to flow through your system
Drink from the cup my love And let the nutrients of love—not stress nourish your soul Letting your being become healthy and strong in the spiritual world
Drink from the cup my love Let your eyes close And in your mind watch the dance of the whirling dervish Feel the twirls and movement of the fabric that they wear So
much that it becomes your own
Drink from the cup my love And dance with them, feel the harmony of your being, Let your arms open to the possibilities of your existence While your eyes are closed realize that you are becoming one with god, and this world and all that is has for us to better ourselves in it.
Drink from the cup my love For every sip you take And allow yourself to spin with the rhythm of life You Spin with me.. You Nourish me..
Drink from the cup my love…
