My Soul Poem by Mystic Qalandar

Beneath the crescent veiled in night,
across the sands where shadows lie,
my weary steps lose strength and sight
upon the burning dust, I try.

Above, a lone star softly glows,
its fire whispering through the air.
Below, a hidden water flows—
an oasis breathing secret prayer.

Beneath the arch where fate is sealed,
through deserts vast, untouched by years,
my thoughts, like serpents, hidden, coil;
my foot strikes sparks of silent fears.

Yet in the folds where sorrows sleep,
a radiant seed dissolves the veil;
in stillness wide, serene and deep,
my soul awakens—whole, unveiled.

No fragment lost, no search to run,
but fullness shining, always true:
the flame, the star, the dust, the One—
all breathe the endless Name: Hu.
