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
Surrender your soul
To your self
The sacred center
and
Let the silent sound
Of Spirit’s song
Wash over you
Shhhh! Be still.
For stillness saves
Those in need
Giving wings
To whispered prayers
Keep silent the speaking mind
With hearts like the rising sun
A beauty so splendid it blinds
What is human but sacred light?
Never will you cage the sun
How has the darkness come?
Hiding in the shade
It is we who make our tombs
Escape from the shadow of doubt
If you wish to know your truth
Climb the ladder of Being
You’ll become what you are
On the journey from truth to truth
Let virtue live within
Let beauty spread around
Let prayer make you move
Don’t be stuck here and there
Everything should move as one
The way of peace and balance
Knowing the truth of things
Having knowledge of the sun
Knowing it waits inside
Born to displace the night
Quietly watch the miracle
The sunrise within
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
………
Watch where your feet land
God is hidden in the world
Do not step upon the flower
The fragrance of the Sacred
It doesn’t matter where you look
The face of Beauty everywhere
The world is a temple
Where patience teaches peace
What does it mean to be human?
Stirred of divinity and dust
It’s not difficult to choose
Is bronze the same as gold?
Do not become Truth and Beauty
How can you become what you are?
Dust has settled on your heart
Dance, just dance and shake it off
Smile my dearest Love
All these worries aren’t you
Be clear and still like the river
And see how the Divine is reflected in you
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’
There was an enormous tree
In the middle of a field
Bearing a single fruit
Glowing like precious gold
Word spread and people came
They jumped all day
Exhausted
They decided to return home
But since that day
They couldn’t forget
The beauty of the glowing fruit
And all else just seemed crude
And so they gathered again
And decided to build a ladder
But every time they climbed
The tree simply grew higher and higher
In frustration they exclaimed
That this fruit
This spell-binding precious fruit
Was impossible for any man to attain
But one man
Sat under the tree
Continuously muttering
‘Good things come to those who wait..Good things…’
Lo and behold
When the time was right
The golden fruit fell from the tree
And disappeared into the man’s heart
Be patient for not all things can be plucked

Forgive me dear friends
On the journey from heart to mouth
All words are lost
How can I describe THIS?
By why describe THIS?
Let us not talk of taste
Come. Come.
It is time for us to drink
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.”
