A Heart Of Gold...

Words of wisdom flowing again

drops of knowledge glowing brain

wave after wave of torrential rain

they hit hard gleaming back

glistening my heart a precious sublime

words are'nt a note this time

switching swapping into a rhyme..

They tell a riddle never told before

of a dark room and empty floor

rich feelings tied to the ceilings

light shone through an open door

on a book of gold,the author's grandeur

precious gems and endless shore

the spirits and sufis dwell within

and lord is found on searching more

A thousand clerics I went to,

a million books I read

in search of truth known to few

until I  sketched the room in my head

a vague parity struck me,a deja vu!

I've seen this room of gems,I said

my mind reached its bounds, my brain gave up;

so I went to the heart to feel instead

Behold! the answer to the riddle came up

the puzzle my soul could only sort

the extract of life to finding God

lied in the very room of my heart..

Doors opened ,the truth unfold

of god's splendour and magnificence

I took a few steps firm and bold

accepting my ignorance and realities cold

setting my soul free of puritan mind

in rhymes of sufis centuries old

in eyes of soul that never go blind

in verses of quran ,the book of gold

But words never left me there

the journey to eternity started here

your heart is where the doorways open

the doorways to heaven concealed in layers

this riddle,they said, was not a conclusion

for darkness in heart is a mere illusion

an illusion to feel the light within

setting apart the darkness filling in

the darkness felt for every sin

reminds us of the light through thick and thin

So much this heart and soul know

of God and men,love and rage

wisdom flying free of earthly cage

casually inked on the page

spread out in rhymes and notes
are lessons learnt come of age...
