      I came across this site while looking for
the poems of the Turkish sufi poet Yunus:)
I guess, in a way, the sufi mystic led me to your
interfaith site- 
Before I will quote Yunus,
(who is a mystic and speaks the universal language of love)
as a Jew living in Israel, I felt I wanted to share
my hope that we all (especially Israelis and Palestinians 
and everyone else) find the courage and trust to
open up to our innate true nature of love and 
radiate it back to the world. 
may there be peace for all.
COME HERE, LETS MAKE PEACE- YUNUS
The drink sent down from Truth, 
we 
      drank it, glory be to God. 
And we sailed over the Ocean of 
      Power, 
glory be to God.

Beyond those hills and oak 
      woods, 
beyond those vineyards and gardens, 
we passed in 
      health and joy, glory be to God. 

We were dry, but we 
      moistened. 
We grew wings and became birds, 
we married 
      one another and flew, 
glory be to God.

To whatever lands 
      we came, 
in whatever hearts, in all humanity, 
we planted 
      the meanings Taptuk taught us, 
glory be to God.

Come here, 
      let's make peace, 
let's not be strangers to one 
      another. 
We have saddled the horse 
and trained it, glory 
      be to God.

We became a trickle that grew into a river. 
We 
      took flight and drove into the sea, 
and then we overflowed, glory 
      be to God. 

We became servants at Taptuk's door. 
Poor 
      Yunus, raw and tasteless, 
finally got cooked, glory be to 
      God.
