MYSTICAL POEMS: “It’s Each Of Us!”
It’s Each Of Us! I placed the votive candle, Into it’s beautiful glass holder, And noted how the frame, In which the wax was held, Was so badly bent and battered. For a moment, I paused, wondering, Was such a candle fit to light, In Remembrance of The Beloved, Framed in such imperfection, So very…
MYSTICAL POEMS: “Wake up lovers” by Rumi
“Wake up lovers, it is time to start the journey! We have seen enough of this world, it is time to see another. These two gardens may be beautiful but let us pass beyond them and go to the Gardener. Let us kiss the ground and flow like a river towards the ocean. Let us…
MYSTICAL POEMS: “Am I not Here?”
Am I not Here? When I would sit to “meditate”, When I would strive to do, Or refrain from doing, The Beloved would whisper… What are you doing? Am I not here? Where would you go to find me, My Beloved, My own? What would you do to gain my Love, Which is now, has…

MYSTIC POEMS: “So Thin A Veil” by Edward Carpenter
So Thin A Veil So thin a veil divides Us from such joy, past words, Walking in daily life- the business of the hour, each detail seen to; Yet carried, rapt away, on what sweet floods of other Being: Swift streams of music flowing, light far back through all Creation shining, Loved faces looking- Ah!…
SPIRITUAL POEMS: “Whatever Is – Is Best” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
“Whatever Is – Is Best” I know as my life grows older, And mine eyes have clearer sight, That under each rank of wrong, somewhere There lies the root of right; That each sorrow has its purpose, By the sorrowing oft unguessed, But as sure as the sun brings morning, Whatever is – is best….
SHORT MYSTIC POEMS: “What in your life is calling you?” by Rumi
What in your life is calling you? When all the noise is silenced, the meetings adjourned, the lists laid aside, and the wild iris blooms by itself in the dark forest, what still pulls on your soul? —Rumi
MYSTIC POEMS: “The Meeting”
“The Meeting” When the one who is awake Meets the one who is alive Then What stands always already unmoved Joins the ever moving flow of life What forever remains untouched Touches the heart of a single man What never can truly be spoken Is expressed without any doubt It is a tacit embrace…
MYSTIC POEMS: “In a thousand forms” by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
You may hide yourself in a thousand forms,
Still, All-beloved, I recognize you;
You may cover yourself in magic mists,
All-present, I can always tell that it is you.
SUFI POEMS: “Invocation” by Farid ud-Din Attar
We are busy with the luxury of things.
Their number and multiple faces bring
To us confusion we call knowledge. Say:
God created the world, pinned night to day,
Made mountains to weigh it down, seas
