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
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.”
When the sun rises
It’s filled with playful joy
Splashing its colours
On the sleeping world
Everything wakes up
Squealing in delight!
On those days
When my soul comes to life
It becomes the Garden in which I walk
Embraced by the warmth of the sun
Receiving, the cool breeze flows through me
This is my paradise
Where beauty surrounds me and gratitude fills me
This is Paradise
I am Love and Love is me – How Lovely
There is no need to understand
All is known
With a single sip
Of Reality
The world is crying out for help
Empty stomachs scream in pain
Listen lovers of hoarded gold
Give and turn your hearts
Into priceless jewels
The world is crying out for help
Ignorant hatred fogs the world
You who claim to love the truth
Clear the air and speak out loud
Do it even if you stand alone
The world is crying out for help
The sky is raining blood
They hear their mother wailing loud
Why don’t her children
Heed her call?
The world is crying out for help
She cries for there is always hope
As long as there’s a heart that loves
The odds are in favour
Of our world

What a brilliant mind
I loved to debate
Reason impeccable
Nothing escaped
People would come
Seeking an answer
I would oblige
Heart filled with pride
Yet I struggled
With pain unbearable
Thoughts inescapable
I begged for help
Brought before the One
I was told to surrender
So that I may be shown
The light of my being
My mind said:
How could you have what you don’t already know?
Love answered:
Be silent so you may experience the Truth
In my quiet
I was moved deep within
A world full of treasures
Love, Peace and Truth
Everyday I’m shown some more
When reason objects
I laugh
My heart knows what’s true
And since that day
All has changed
Now, when they ask
I answer:
Surrender is all I know
