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.

Footprints in the Sand: Contemplating Gender Equality The line of footprints led side by side across the ancient riverbed. Equal partners in their battle for survival, the couple walked hand-in-hand across the sand of Africa and into history. Frozen in time the line of footprints led out of Africa. Her footprints slowed, burdened by a load heavier than any child; he footprints lagged one step behind. Unequal partners in their battle for survival, they trudged ac... [Read more]

Fast Vahids 1 Oh, Beloved! From the chalice of Thy book, I sip the wine of Thy utterance. 2 Thirs flows across the desert of self, Washing the dross from the mirror of matter. 3 Beauty of the worlds, Sunset call the lost ones home, To dine on the fruit of faith. 4 Resting in the soil of faith, The kernel decomposes into roots and stems. 5 Desire of the worlds, Sunset calls the wander home, To drink the wine of Thy love. 6 Thirst flows acr...
