Undress, Stand Naked... Poem by Ray Lucero
Undress, Stand Naked...
Learn the alchemy true Mystics know;
The instant you accept hardship given you
Doors open
Welcome adversity, as friend
Make light of what torment offers
Sorrows are but old clothes, indeed rags
Covered by a tattered threadbare coat
Undress thy naked body underneath
Behold the sweetness that comes after grief

(Inspired by Master Rumi)
This is great Ray, As I began to read it, it came across as very Sufi. And lo and behold! Nice interpretation of the philosophy, L&T
