My Search

I

Into the mystic realm,
I let my mind take flight,
Over stone strewn highways,
I search the endless night.

I was the Wanderer,
Looking for a goal,
And the Seeker,
Searching for my soul.

I walked the roads of idle fancy,
Paths of material delight,
Stumbling over stones of vain imaginings,
In my search for the light.

A voice deep within me cried:
"Here doesn't lay your goal,
Upon these darkened pathways,
You'll never find your sou."

II

Into the mystic realm,
Again my mind took flight,
Over well traveled highways,
I search the misty twilight.

I was a Seeer,
Seeking an unknown goal,
And a Stranger,
To my own soul.

In this realm of half-light,
I strolled the roads of tradition,
Picking my way carefully,
Through the shadows of superstition.

Still from within came the cry:
"Not in this realm is your goal,
Upon these half-lit pathways,
You'll never find your soul"

III

Into the mystic realm,
Again I took flight,
And walked the paths,
Where God has shed His light.

I walked the hallowed highways,
Trod by the Prophets of old,
Strolled the ancient paths,
Strewn with nuggets of pure gold.

This is the wondrous realm,
Where all paths become one,
This is the glorious land,
Illuminated by God's sun.

Through the Word of God,
I have found my soul,
In the Messenger for this age,
I have found my goal.

Poet's Note:

In The Darkness of The Night
January 2, 2019 at 7:17pm
In The Darkness of The Night In the darkness of the night, I see a thousand points of light, Each one shining separately, As they float upon the midnight sea. Reflected from still water deep, Each beckons to the restless sheep, As they descend from mountains h igh, Seeking the rest that is nigh. While the silent oarsmen sleep, The vigil for their Lord the lights keep, As they wait for the coming day, They drive the dark-some night away. {dropnote:"Poet's Note:"... [Read more]

1 Jalal's Child Jalal's child is born in Glory; Jamal's child in Beauty walks; Kamal's child seeks Perfection; Fidal's child walks in Grace; 'Idal's child practices Justice; Istijlal's child in Majesty dwells; Istiqlala's child seeks Independence. 2 Dawn The rays of God's dawning light scatter the forces of night, Sends into hiding the fowl smelling creatures of darkness, And bestows new life on all turning to the light. 3 Upon...

Journey Within
January 2, 2019 at 1:52pm
Journey Within I took a journey into self, Beyond the licked doors of my mind, Alone I walked dark corridors, To see what I would find. I discovered hidden cellars, In which dwelt my darkest fears, In stale dust closets, Goals abandoned through the years. I discovered broken statues, In the temple of my mind, Idols, to which I had sacrificed My highest hopes and precious time. In the attic I discovered, Within dust laden trunks, Forgotten scraps of knowledge, And unadul... [Read more]
