I am locked in a prison cell
And in the desperate depths of its darkness
I am slowly breaking down
Dying, until there is nothing more
Thank you !
It is from the fire of nothingness
That beautiful souls are forged
Souls that beget light upon light
A light that spreads through the worlds
How do I endure this journey?
The journey of dying to be born
With patience and surrender.
Patience and surrender.
It is time now
I open up my hands
and simply place my life into Yours
Its time for the journey within
It calls but you’ve placed it on hold
Dazed by the glitter of this world
Forgetful of where you came from
Throw your excuses to the sky
Its time for the journey within
Kick open all your prison doors
Freedom waits on the other side
Let your desires and mind sleep
Surrender yourself to the One
Its time for the journey within
A world of treasures awaits you
Become one with the Peace you crave
Become one with the Light you are
Become the Love that gave you birth
Its time for the journey within

The essence, yes, the essence
This is where the Truth lies
All forms contain a Beauty
The mysterious dance of artistry
Each Beauty a Divine Quality
This is the beatific Face of ‘HE’
The flame facing all directions
But with what eyes do we see?
Why do you stand up straight?
Please tell me what this means
The body symbolizes transcendance
Fly up! Disappear into Reality
Look at the two sexes
They participate in Divinity
She is His Infinite Love
He is His Absolute Unity
In the Celestial World of Archetypes
Together, they embrace as One
Far Beyond and deep within
YOU are a whole human being
Wholeness is holy-ness
No pieces or separation
A whisper of Sacred union
The disappearance of polarity
All this, while you worry about..?
O’ world, how well you deceive!
Consuming us in trivial matters
While we forget what we were born to be
The essence, yes, the essence
This is where the Truth lies
All forms contain a Beauty
The mysterious dance of artistry

Nature revives my soul to life
Sitting under the smiling sun
Lying on a warm bed of grass
Singing hymns with blooming flowers
When I feel the darkness spreading
Nature revives my soul to life
My arms spread wide as the ocean
The breeze carries me to heaven
I dance my heart out in the rain
Soaked in mercy from head to toe
Nature revives my soul to life
I laugh out loud and thank the skies
The face of beauty everywhere
The world full of splendid light
Whenever I feel dead inside
Nature revives my soul to life
Your heart is speaking
Do you hear it calling?
Whispering softly:
‘Don’t lose yourself in this world
Always Remember
You are an eternal soul
Forged from a most sacred light
Never forget that
You’ve been born with wings to fly
Let the winds of Grace take you
Deep within your hallowed self
And up through celestial skies’

Hey everyone
So when I got back from mexico I got really ill, which is why I haven’t been on wordpress much. Even now i’m in no condition to write any poems. So instead I thought I’d share with you one of my favourite poems by Hafiz. Im sure you’ve read it before!
“TRIPPING OVER JOY”
What is the difference
Between your experience of Existence
And that of a saint?
The saint knows
That the spiritual path
Is a sublime chess game with God
And that the Beloved
Has just made such a Fantastic Move
That the saint is now continually
Tripping over Joy
And bursting out in Laughter
And saying, “I Surrender!”
Whereas, my dear,
I am afraid you still think
You have a thousand serious moves.”
What is rain but
Angels that fall from the sky?
Sacrificing themselves
To bring the world back to Life
Be an angel. Be the rain.
Be a human of service
The reason for scented flowers
In the soul of anothers’ life
Send them your prayers
Show them your love
It matters not if
It’s a simple smile or
A single hug
Don’t be afraid
Rain returns to its source
When you give to others
You end up
Helping yourself
…..
Dedicated to Belinda at http://busymindthinking.com/ for the idea and for being a source of scented flowers in many people’s lives.
