The almighty that sprinkles the earth with a thousand flowers benign <br />May the calm of a thousand mountains don the visage of your restless soul? <br />The beauty of a river singing and meandering in search of that peace <br />Which follows when the arms of the ocean engulf it, exemplifying existence <br />The Ocean roars and says all permanence too has an ending. <br /> <br /> <br />These chants of ages gone, this lore which brings a joyful melancholy. <br />Instill nostalgia for this era passed long by <br />Who were these seers, were they crusaders of the divinity in man <br />They for sure were romantics for romantics nurture belief like no other <br /> <br /> <br />The tradition of worship found a new belief <br />It was not heresy but the faith of a few Titans <br />Fighting the time, fighting tyrants, fighting savagery <br />Realm saw a new dawn on a politic stained by crimson <br />Man became God, God became Man. <br /> <br /> <br />Yes! The Mystic sang all this the song of love, of devotion <br />Of a beloved waiting, of an anguish in the hearts of mortals <br />The flowing sensuality of the praises of the almighty <br />Matched the longing of a forlorn lover. <br />The yearning for salvation was but what salvation itself <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The mystique of the mystic is a legend less understood, for <br />Less understood are the voices of the chosen few yet <br />Love is surely divine and divinity equals love <br />Nature is the form of God and the love for nature is Elysian <br />This was an era when Humanity reveled, sanity was revered and solitude elevated <br />This is what the Sufi sang for this is what the lore says.<br /><br />shwet awasthi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lore-of-sufism/
