Baby, I’ve been waiting I’ve been waiting night and day I didn’t see the time I waited half my life away There were lots of invitations And I know you sent me some But I was waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come I know you really loved me But, you see, my hands were tied And I know it must have hurt you It must have hurt your pride To have to stand beneath my window With your bugle and your drum And me I’m up there waiting For the miracle to come. Ah I don’t believe you’d like it. You wouldn’t like it here. There ain’t no entertainment, And the judgments are severe The Maestro says it’s Mozart, But it sounds like bubble gum When you’re waiting For the miracle to come. Nothing left to do When you know that you’ve been taken Nothing left to do When you’re begging for a crumb Nothing left to do When you’ve got to go on waiting Waiting for the miracle to come I dreamed about you, baby It was just the other night Most of you was naked Ah but some of you was light The sands of time were falling From your fingers and your thumb And you were waiting For the miracle to come Ah baby, let’s get married We’ve been alone too long Let’s be alone together Let’s see if we’re that strong Yeah let’s do something crazy, Something absolutely wrong While we’re waiting For the miracle to come. Nothing left to do When you know that you’ve been taken Nothing left to do When you’re begging for a crumb Nothing left to do When you’ve got to go on waiting Waiting for the miracle to come When you’ve fallen on the highway And you’re lying in the rain, And they ask you how you’re doing Of course you’ll say you can’t complain If you’re squeezed for information, That’s when you’ve got to play it dumb You just say you’re out there waiting For the miracle to come. • • #sufisoulspeak #WaitedForTheMiracle #AndItDid
NOT DARK YET by Bob Dylan • Shadows are fallin’, and I’ve been here all day. It’s too hot to sleep, and time is runnin’ away. Feel like my soul has turned into steel. I’ve still got the scars that the sun didn’t heal. There’s not even room enough to be anywhere. It’s not dark yet but it’s gettin’ there. Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain. Behind every beautiful thing, there’s been some kind of pain. She wrote me a letter, and she wrote it so kind She put down in writin’ what was in her mind. I just don’t see why I should even care. It’s not dark yet but it’s gettin’ there. Well, I’ve been to London, and I been to gay Paris. I’ve followed the river, and I got to the sea. I’ve been down on the bottom of the world full of lies. I ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ in anyone’s eyes. Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear It’s not dark yet but it’s gettin’ there. I was born here and I’ll die here, against my will I know it looks like I’m movin’, but I’m standin’ still. Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb. I can’t even remember what it was, I came here to get away from. Don’t even hear the murmur of a prayer. It’s not dark yet but it’s gettin’ there • 🤯 • #SufiSoulSpeak
• I wish I knew The difference, Between a lover And a martyr. Or the reason, The Famine, Always felt Like the feast. They have All kinds Of cages For the Man But, no one Ever tells you, What to do, With the Beast. • • #SufiSoulPoetry #MonsoonsRainPoemsToo

• None of us Knows where This is going. None of us Seems to know Why. And it’s much Too much To take. So we become Tourists in Our own lives. Happy enough, Just to watch The sights Go by. • • #SufiSoulPoetry #poetsofInstagram
{ CHARCOAL approx 3′ x 4.5′ } • Latest piece of art. They say there is nothing purer, than the language spoken by an elephant’s eyes. And I’ve always been intimidated by the thought of doing justice to a beloved animal. So I took a crack at it. Normally I’m too critical, but damn proud of how this turned out. And had an insanely fun time sketching this piece. • Fun process video in my Story • #SufiSoulSketchery

(5 ft X 3.5 ft- CHARCOAL MIXED MEDIA) When I was a kid (and still, of course), my favorite artist was @luisroyoofficial . He was a Spanish artist who used to draw book covers, fantasy posters, tarot cards, like Conan, Heavy Metal, etc. Everytime I came across one of his covers/prints, I knew it for his. There was no one else like him. There was always something broken yet luminous about his work. Beauty in a deeply fallen world. And a beauty that was tough. That could hold its own. This image was my favorite piece by him. I had a little magazine tear out of this when I was a kid, that obviously didn’t last. I sketched this on my teenage bedroom wall. And that got painted over with time and housework. So I decided I wanted to take another crack at it and see how much my own I could make it. I’m quite quite proud. A tribute to my favorite piece by one of my all time favorite artists. • • #SufuSoulSketchesToo #CharcoalArt #LuisRoyoTribute
• I go forward, I grow inward. My journey Is my purpose A true heart My reward. I am Holy water, I am the cup, I am the mouth Into which It is poured. I go forward. I grow inward. God is an ocean. I shall be the shore. • • #SufiSoulPoetry #MeditationPoem.
