I have come far (a humble tribute to the great sufi poet RUMI)



I have come far
loose sands of this desert
swallowing up my steps...
each one taken is one less forgotten.
Ney echoing through my ears...
the white clad whirling Sufi...
like a swift of mystic poetry.
what do i seek?
for it has all been given and taken from me by love.
Defining love is like
asking directions to the desert wind,
its all over you...inside you.
I have come this far...
this grand union of hearts...
true to its calling...a vagabond sublime in thoughts...wandering...gathering pebbles of savored freedom.
Oh great teacher! rumi, by thy words...
I bleed love...I starve of memories...have I gone far enough...to be near my beloved?
The all knowing allah...the merciful,
I shall be forgiven...for I came this far for love...
which was in me by your name and forever it shall stay...!
