Heart seeking soul
I passed through mystical land
in eons past to eons before
looking for a whisper of you
all over in empty spaces
and cathedrals within mountains
I followed the sounds of creation
soughs of blustery wind
through halls of caverns
waded through waters
of forgetfulness, remembering your name
through forests of names
birthing of new leaves
ode to the faded fallen
a life unto one that’s gone
given to another just waking
and the spirit in the mystical land
whispered
when the sun shines
when its raining
when the day is warm
but the air is cold
and man stands on solid ground
all elements come together
and the worlds of here and there
will collide
there your heart's soul will be.

Thank you SweetOblivion:) I haven't read that poem...but honoured to be compared to Percy Shelley. I will look it up. Thank you for reading me.

First, did you mean soughs or boughs in the first stanza?
This has an undertone of sufism to me. One thing I love about Rumi's work is that it can be equated to the search for/discovery of both divine and human. Afterall, aren't we both?
I enjoyed the spiritual nature of its pulse.

Soughs...the sound. I went for the poetic license here hard:)...Thank you for reading me, Ahavati. We are of course both, in that we have the spirit and the soul, and our mortal coil. Also we are always reaching out for more ... to see beyond the senses we naturally have.

The spirit's words are wise, and the poem is gorgeous. It has heart, soul and pure magic.
I followed the sounds of creation
soughs of blustery wind
through halls of caverns
waded through waters
of forgetfulness, remembering your name
It's more than worth the odyssey. Thrilling work Grace!

A poem full of wisdom and beauty. Loved it, Grace. Perfectly titled, I can certainly relate to it. The second stanza was breath taking to me, really struck me deeply. Perfect pen.
