Extract of Verses from THE JOURNEY OF THE SPIRITUAL BIRDS
Behold! I Have Witnessed the Tempest without Fear Behold! My Soul Is Attempting To Rest in the Nests of Eternity Behold! My Thirsty Soul Has Discovered Its Destiny Behold! I Have Tasted the Love That Endures Lo! The Mortals Were Drawn To the Heavenly Gates Behold! I Asked To Be Fed and I Was Instantly Satiated Alas! It Is Darkness That Contains the Fountain of Light Be Sure! It Is Our Destiny to Be Awakened By the Ancient Whispers Can We Escape Our Ancestors! O Mortal Behold! I Have Found the Elixir Of Life in the Shiny Drops of Divinity Behold! My Soul Is Quenched With the Nectar of Eternity Alas! My Soul Has Understood the Darkness of Reason Lo! My Thirsty Soul Has Finally Lifted the Mysterious Veil Lo! My Thirsty Soul Has Been Finally Struck With the Divine Storm Behold! My Thirsty Soul T Has Finally Made the Ultimate Inquiry Lo! My Thirsty Soul Has Finally Been Attached To the Wings of Eternity Behold! I Have Tasted the Honey of Divinity Lo! I Have Tasted the Immortal Hope Behold! I Have Tasted the Glimpses of Paradise Behold! Some Mortals Were Blessed With a Humble Heart Behold! Some Mortals Dived Into the Depths’ of the Comic Sea
Behold! Some Mortals Saw beyond the World of Earth and Water Behold! Some Mortals Burned Their Soul in the Fire of Passion Behold! Some Mortals Tore Themselves Away From the Mortal Prison Behold! Some Mortals Were Aware of the Unseen Forces Lo! I Sought the Flowers but Was Suddenly Confronted With the Gardener Lo! I Sought His Help and He Polished the Mirror of My Soul Lo! I Tried To Start My Journey but Suddenly Found Myself at the Destination Behold! It Is Evil That Gave Birth to Divinity! O Mortal Be Sure! It Was Hell That Inspired the Heavens! O Mortal Be Sure! It Is Whispers from Heaven That Entice Us to Read the Ancient Script Engraved On Our Souls Be Sure! It Is Our Destiny to Be Fed With the Divine Honey Be Sure! It Is Destiny That Helps Us Hear the Whispers from Heaven Be Sure! It Is Destiny That Distills the Divine Truth Be Sure! It Is Destiny That Makes a Philosopher Out of the Mortal Fool Have Our Ancestors Hidden In Us Their Wails and Cries! O Mortal Have Our Ancestors Bound Us in the Chain of Passion and Fear! O Mortal Why Is The Destiny Written In Double Terms! O Mortal! Why Is Future Knowledge A Torturing Burden! O Mortal! Why Does Fate Pierce Her Saw In Our Mortal Bosoms! O Mortal! O Destiny! Can I Not Bring Heaven Here in the Land of Darkness! Why Do the Cosmic Signs Stare At Us Like an Unknown Script! O Mortal! Why Can’t We Negotiate Through Tangled Anarchy Called Fate! O Mortal!
Why Are We Hampered By the Hoops of Fate! O Mortal! Why Can’t We See the Disguised Wisdom in Nature’s Heart! O Mortal!
Why Can’t We See Nature’s Empire in the Cosmos She Has Built! O mortal!
O Spirit! Be Sure! Inside I Have Witnessed the Crescendo of the Gods O Beloved! Be Sure! I Could See My Spirit Rise in the White Dawn O Beloved! Be Sure! I Could See My Spirit like a Pearl within Eternity’s White Shell
O Beloved! Be Sure! I Could See My Spirit Approach the Ancient Depths O Beloved! Be Sure! I Could See My Spirit Wait on the Brink of Eternal Silence Why Don’t You Voyage Through the World of Splendour and Calm! O Mortal!
Have You Seen the Intense Original Flame! O Mortal! Haven’t You Seen the Truth Break in a Triumph of Fire! O Mortal!
O Dark Lord! Why Do You Make Me Witness the Soil on Which No Mortal Can Set Its Feet O Dark Lord! Why Do You Allure Me to the Sounds That Arise Out of Hidden Depths O Dark Lord! Why Do You Allure Me to a World of Mystic Charm O Dark Lord! Why Do You Allure Me to a Love That Must Die Along With Its Mortal Casing
