Seeking the Source
Author: Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi (1207-1273)Category: Education & Wisdom
A voice out of this world

calls on our souls

not to wait any more

get ready to move

to the original home

your real home

your real birth place

is up here with the heavens

let your soul take a flight

like a happy phoenix

you've been tied up

your feet in the mud

your body roped to a log

break loose your ties

get ready for the final flight

make your last journey

from this strange world

soar for the heights

where there is no more

separation of you and your homeGod has created

your wings not to be dormant

as long as you are alive

you must try more and more

to use your wings to show you're alive

these wings of yours

are filled with quests and hopes

if they are not used

they will wither away

they will soon decay

you may not like

what i'm going to tell you

you are stuck

now you must seek

nothing but the source.
