Silence Helps! When Nothing Helps Poem by Sumita Jetley

In Konya's heart, where tales entwine,
Lived Abbas, a Sufi, his life a divine line.
In simplicity's embrace, he found his peace,
A world uncluttered, where all struggles cease.

A rich merchant came, in splendor dressed,
Seeking wisdom for a heart unaddressed.
'O sage so wise, in minimalism's art,
How doth thou find peace, a world apart? '

Abbas, with a smile, a truth unspoken,
Shared wisdom like tea, a token.
'Simplicity, dear seeker, is not just lack,
But a heart's contentment, nothing to pack.

Behold the flower, in grace it stands,
Needs but little, from nature's hands.
Happiness, a journey within, not bought,
In simplicity's realm, a lesson taught.'

The merchant left, his heart light,
Understanding dawned, clear and bright.
True wealth lies not in hands that hold,
But in simple joys, and a heart bold.

In Konya's embrace, Abbas stayed,
A life unadorned, in peace arrayed.
And those who sought, left with a part,
Of a lesson learned, in a wise heart.
