This is an ode to one of the most universal of Muses, not just for me and the good folk at @amala.earth, but for everyone that is moved by the majesty of the monsoons. It heralds the return of hope, of life itself, of a cleansing to the mind, body and soul. • They wait For the rain, Buried In my mind, Deep beneath, the Everyday debris. The poems I didn’t know I’d been writing, Those secretly Assigned To me. They suffer The filth, and the Noise, all year, Waiting, to hear The songbirds Change their key. For the swaying Of the palms to Become dancing. The sky to murmur Magic spells To the sea. Though it isn’t Always gentle, Or punctual. Though it isn’t Always enough Or kind. When it arrives It humbles this Incessant circus. Sweeps me free Of the Great Pantomime. The Monsoon Washes over the Human wreckage. Wiping this Tired world Clean. Freed from the Dust of what We’ve become, It leaves me Closer to who I should’ve been. Every drop Raining down, Is a word Every poem, a seed Planted by the Gardener’s thumb. Every year More of me is Fertile ground. Just waiting For the rain To come. • • #SufiSoulPoetry #MonsoonMusing #earthfriendly #amalaearth #consciouscommunity #butterflyeffect
Slow down. Take a seat. There are everyday miracles, just waiting for you to see them.
• I am not Ashamed of My truest face. I am not Lonely. I’m Just alone. No longer Just tinder In a fireplace. I have burned Enough. Now I am stone. • • #SufiSoulPoetry
• I, Am the part Of me that Survived Myself. The part that Wouldn’t leave Me behind. The part of me I love, so very much. That loves me Fiercely back, in kind. Home, in my skin. Here, in my Time. • • #SufiSoulPoetry #SayItWithMe #SayItToYourself #makeItTrue
• I wonder if It ever strikes you This feeling of being Immense, yet unseen At the same time. Reaching out. Trying to pull The entire Universe Towards your Singularity. That unfound Event horizon, Hidden deep in The vast expanse Of your heart. Every breath A cataclysm No one else can feel. Every ache an answer No one wants to find. We’re tracing orbits Around each other In the cosmic dark. Unable to escape The Gravity. The astrophysics Of Love and Hurt Curving space-time Around us. Pulling us together Ripping us apart. • • @penguinindia @radhika_marwah @deepakramola @rinjinimitra • #sufisoulspeak #SufiSoulPoetry

• My heart, Is A cup. And it’s Brimful. • • #SufiSoulPoetry #GratitudePoem
• I am one of the most simply, Joyful people I know. I also keep cloaked A planet of sorrow. I have found a well earned Calm within myself. I am silently screaming Out for help. Half the time, i cant tell Who is pretending to be who. Is it just me? Or is this what it’s like Being you too? • • #SufiSoulPoetry
• You may not Shine, All the time, Baby. But, boy, I’ll tell ya, You got one Helluva sheen And when The light, Hits your Spirit Just right, I love to watch The world, Watching you Gleam. • • #AndYouShineSoVeryBright #SufiSoulPoetry
• If it shelters, I am the door. If it surges, I am the shore. If it dances, I am the floor. And I, Am Stone. • • playing around with the structure of a passage by one of my absolute favorite authors @misterkristoff These are my original words. I just set it to his rhythm, and loved how it turned out. • #SufiSoulPoetry #LikeAStone
• I am just A particle Of dust, Caught In a sunbeam, Destined For the floor. But, for a brief Moment, i get To be part Of the Light It is enough. What more Could a mote Wish for? • • #SufiSoulPoetry #GratitudePoem #JustForBeingAlive #AndAPartOfTheLight

• In a city Of scavengers, And birds of prey, A sparrow came To sit beside me, Today. It didn’t say a word, Nothing needed To be said. My Muse had Sent the sparrow In her stead. It sat for a while And we listened To rock and roll. Then it left me, An ocean closer, To being whole. • • #sufiSoulPoetry #TheMagicIsThere #InTheLittlestOfThings #ILoveSparrows
