The Road That's Seldom Taken Poem by Omer Shahid

For once let your soul wander
On that road seldom taken
They say there's magic on it
For those sleeping, oft awaken

It's famous yet it's unknown too
Maybe we're just mistaken
They say it changes faces not
But hearts are surely shaken

People of past, the souls of great
All have that road taken
On it have walked great warriors and Kings…
Alas! It's now forsaken!

Great mystery though it still does hold
It may seem strange to you and I
They deem it strange, nor dark, nor cold
Those who possess The Inward Eye

Some go there just to find themselves
Some go there for enlightenment
But one thing common in them all
Is they enjoy the time they spend


Some call it the Path to God
Some call it Siraat-e-Mustaqeem
But the thing that brings them in accord
Is that you find it ONLY in THE DEEN!
