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
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

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’
Hello everyone 🙂
Thank you so much for all the well wishes. I am (and have been) feeling much better now :). My absence has mainly been due to work and it doesnt look like ill be able to write poetry for a while although, I will try when I get the chance and have the energy!! In the meantime, here is another one of my favourite Rumi poems for you. With much much love to you all!!
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

When the sun rises
It’s filled with playful joy
Splashing its colours
On the sleeping world
Everything wakes up
Squealing in delight!
