Within each of us, there is a spark, a light in our souls that never dies. It is the gift that is divine, which God has given us. It takes the form of art, math, teaching, writing, poetry, counseling, and something magical. The darkness of the world and the illusions of technology have distracted us with their illusions and images of who we are not, instead of helping us find the light inside ourselves, which is the gift from God. I wanted to write a series of poems that encourage others to find the light in their souls and, in the process, be happy doing what they are supposed to be doing and being who they are meant to be instead of wasting their lives away, trying to please others and the images of who others want them to be. Within each of us, there is a spark of the divinethe soul, your light. We need you to find the light within yourself so you can shine with your light and make the world a less dark and a happier place. This is my soul, and these are my words.

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 What is the meaning of life? Faith, Truth, and the Pursuit of Life: Poems of Hope and Love is a poetry collection which attempts to answer this universal question with an answer which takes many of us a lifetime to find, and even then, it is found by faith. We spend countless days of our brief existence on earth in search for an answer to this mysterious question; what is the meaning of life, the meaning of my life? The love we experience in our relationships give life meaning; we love one another with patience and sacrifice. Life is mysterious, but with Jesus, it makes sense. Without Him, life is selfish. Relationships crumble without the love of God in our hearts. To find the truth of love, we must have faith in something greater. So we seek. Often we find the answer to the meaning of life in the earth and the stars, or in ancient words and rituals from the people who lived before us, or inside of every human heart. Wherever we find the clues, they come together to form an answer, the answer which leads to God. The poems I share seek to answer the mysteries of life, and to consider the true way to live our relationships with others and with our Creator. I have pursued life, the hope for life eternal, and I have found the answer in the truth of Jesus. I hope my poems will inspire and motivate you to pursue the truth of life, and may God bless your journey with faith, hope, and love.

My verse resembles the bread of Egypt—night passes over it, and you cannot eat it any more. Devour it the moment it is fresh, before the dust settles upon it. Its place is the warm climate of the heart; in this world it dies of cold. Like a fish it quivered for an instant on dry land, another moment and you see it is cold. Even if you eat it imagining it is fresh, it is necessary to conjure up many images. What you drink is really your own imagination; it is no old tale, my good man. Jalal al-Din Rumi (1207–73), legendary Persian Muslim poet, theologian, and mystic, wrote poems acclaimed through the centuries for their powerful spiritual images and provocative content, which often described Rumi’s love for God in romantic or erotic terms. His vast body of work includes more than three thousand lyrics and odes. This volume includes four hundred poems selected by renowned Rumi scholar A. J. Arberry, who provides here one of the most comprehensive and adept English translations of this enigmatic genius. Mystical Poems is the definitive resource for anyone seeking an introduction to or an enriched understanding of one of the world’s greatest poets. “Rumi is one of the world’s greatest lyrical poets in any language—as well as probably the most accessible and approachable representative of Islamic civilization for Western students.”—James W. Morris, Oberlin College
