There is nothing in the universe that you are not
Everything you want, look for it within yourself-
you are that.

The Breeze At Dawn
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.Don’t go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want.Don’t go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsillwhere the two worlds touch. The door is round and open.Don’t go back to sleep.
Ode 911
On the day I die, when I’m beingcarried toward the grave, don’t weep.Don’t say, ‘He’s gone! He’s gone!’Death has nothing to do with going away.The sun sets and the moon sets,but they’re not gone. Deathis a coming together.The tomb looks like a prison,but it’s really releaseinto Union.The human seed goes down in the groundlike a…
You play with the great globe of union,
and cannot be seen. Even universalintelligence gets blurry when it thinksyou may leave. You came here alone,but you create hundreds of new worlds.Spring is a peacock flirting withrevelation. The rose gardens flame.Ocean enters the boat. I throwit all away, except this love for Shams.Translation by: Coleman Barks

Soul Receives From Soul
Soul receives from soul that knowledge,therefore not by book nor from tongue. If knowledge of mysteries come afteremptiness of mind, that is illumination of heart.
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river
When actions come from another section, the feelingdisappears.Don’t let others lead you. They may be blind or, worse, vultures.Reach for the rope of God. And what is that? Putting aside self-will.Because of willfulness people sit in jail, the trapped bird’s wings are tied,fish sizzle in the skillet.The anger of police is willfulness. You’ve seen a…
You personify God’s message.
You reflect the King’s face.
There is nothing in the universe that you are not

This aloneness is worth more than a thousand lives.
To be one with the truth for just a moment,Is worth more than the world and life itself.
Memories
Why did you wait until nowTo tell me the truthWhy did you give me false hopeFor the future The scars on my heartAre the tears that I’ve criedThe tears are the memories locked deep inside You tore my heart apartLeft me in piecesThen you walked awayAnd left my soul screaming These scars on my heartAre…
Sonnet 37: As A Decrepit Father Takes Delight by William Shakespeare
As a decrepit father takes delightTo see his active child do deeds of youth,So I, made lame by Fortune’s dearest spite,Take all my comfort of thy worth and truth.For whether beauty, birth, or wealth, or wit,Or any of these all, or all, or more,Entitled in thy parts, do crownèd sit,I make my love engrafted to…
The Generations of Men – Poem by Robert Frost
A governor it was proclaimed this time,When all who would come seeking in New HampshireAncestral memories might come together.And those of the name Stark gathered in Bow,A rock-strewn town where farming has fallen off,And sprout-lands flourish where the axe has gone.Someone had literally run to earthIn an old cellar hole in a by-roadThe origin of…
I gaze into the heart, lowly it may be,
For the heart is all the substance,The speech an accident.How many phrases will you speak,Too many for me.How much burning, burning will you feel,Be friendly with the fire, enough for me.Light up the fire of love inside,And blaze the thoughts away.
Be with those who help your being.
comes cold out of their mouths.Not these visible forms, your work is deeper.A chunk of dirt thrown in the air breaks to pieces.If you don’t try to fly,and so break yourself apart,you will be broken open by death,when it’s too late for all you could become.Leaves get yellow. The tree puts out fresh rootsand makes…
