Ah Sunflower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun;
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller's journey is done;
...
To and fro, to and fro
In my little boat I go
Sailing far across the sea
All alone, just little me.
...
I have got my leave. Bid me farewell, my brothers!
I bow to you all and take my departure.
Here I give back the keys of my door
...
In love, nothing exists between heart and heart.
Speech is born out of longing,
True description from the real taste.
The one who tastes, knows;
...
I shall die in Paris, in a rainstorm,
On a day I already remember.
I shall die in Paris- it does not bother me-
Doubtless on a Thursday, like today, in autumn.
...
The time that my journey takes is long and the way of it long.
I came out on the chariot of the first gleam of light, and pursued my
voyage through the wildernesses of worlds leaving my track on many a star and planet.
...
Underneath the infinite sky,
above the ovoid earth,
anxiously,
he began his journey,
...
Sick on my journey,
only my dreams will wander
these desolate moors
...
A golden sphere is lifting up so slowly in the east,
The eye is looking towards it, and seeing such a feast,
Blazing with bands of colour, and giving a wondrous heat,
A view that to each observer, is something so complete.
...
With ships the sea was sprinkled far and nigh,
Like stars in heaven, and joyously it showed;
Some lying fast at anchor in the road,
Some veering up and down, one knew not why.
...
If one could bridge the distance with a word,
A journey would become a pilgrimage.
Elegant letters slant across the page.
My leaf has found a home upon your coat.
...
From your hips down to your feet
I want to make a long journey.
...
What should we have taken
with us? We never could decide
on that; or what to wear,
or at what time of
...
The gloom that breathes upon me with these airs
Is like the drops which stike the traveller's brow
Who knows not, darkling, if they bring him now
Fresh storm, or be old rain the covert bears.

'Attar began The Conference of the Birds (Mantiq al-tair) with an invocation praising the holy Creator in which he suggested that one must live a hundred lives to know oneself; but you must know God by the deity, not by yourself, for God opens the way, not human wisdom. 'Attar believed that God is beyond all human knowledge. The soul will manifest itself when the body is laid aside. One cannot gain spiritual knowledge without dying to all things. When the birds assemble, they wonder why they have no king. The Hoopoe presents herself as a messenger from the invisible world with knowledge of God and the secrets of creation. She recommends Simurgh as their true king, saying that one of his feathers fell on China.
The Nightingale says that the love of the Rose satisfies him, and the journey is beyond his strength; but the Hoopoe warns against being a slave of passing love that interferes with seeking self-perfection. The Parrot longs for immortality, and the Hoopoe encourages the Peacock to choose the whole. The Duck is too content with water to seek the Simurgh. The Hoopoe advises the Partridge that gems are just colored stones and that love of them hardens the heart; she should seek the real jewel of sound quality. The Humay is distracted by ambition, and the Owl loves only the treasure he has found. The Hoopoe reprimands the Sparrow for taking pride in humility and recommends struggling bravely with oneself. She states that the different birds are just shadows of the Simurgh. If they succeed, they will not be God; but they will be immersed in God. If they look in their hearts, they will see the divine image. All appearances are just the shadow of the Simurgh. Those loving truly do not think about their own lives and sacrifice their desires. Those grounded in love renounce faith and religion as well as unbelief. One must hear with the ear of the mind and the heart.
...
I will not cry for satisfaction if I could get my choice,
Among the divine beautiful virgins of heaven, I want only you.
...
My poetry journey is nothing and nowhere to go
Without leaving a word or two
I need a companion along the way
With you in my thoughts each day
...
Gold vessels of fine wines,
thousands a gallon,
Jade dishes of rare meats,
costing more thousands,
...
Twenty-four years remind the tears of my eyes.
(Bury the dead for fear that they walk to the grave in labour.)
In the groin of the natural doorway I crouched like a tailor
Sewing a shroud for a journey
...
Life is a journey
A journey of time
Where a heart needs another
To give it a shine
...
.
I am beginning this last journey
with a heart that is heavy
and a heart that is full of fear
...
I do not resemble your other lovers, my lady
should another give you a cloud
I give you rain
...
In Heaven, at the right hand of God I’ll sit,
I haven’t been there, but my eyes can see it.
Adorned in righteous robes, I’ll stand by the king.
I will see angels flying with their angelic wings.
...
(I'm)
On my journey
My endless journey
By dream colors I'm on painted stairs
...
.
I took another step today
on that last journey I will take
the one taking me to a destination
...
Let buried lie in here and get rest,
No suitable place to remain as guest,
End of peaceful life after long quest,
Eternal peace granted after earnest request,
...
I am on a journey
the longest journey of my life
you know the one
the one that goes

Introduction: Life is a mystery with many ups and downs throughout the journey. The journey filled with thoughts of tranquility and turmoil. But the perfect sensation is the time when you get to feel closer to your Almighty, the one who understands you the best, your closest friend,

The living is a passing traveler;
The dead, a man come home.
One brief journey betwixt heaven and earth,
Then, alas! we are the same old dust of ten thousand ages.

Oh! I watch this wonderful game in a lonely park.
A millionaire strikes a small ball with his iron club
And it flies to infinity,
He goes behind that happily.

Just a little tiny battered and paint-peeling boat
forgotten
and tied to the dock for season after season

So long had I travelled the lonely road,
Though, now and again, a wayfairing friend
Walked shoulder to shoulder, and lightened the load,
I often would think to myself as I strode,

Daughters of Beulah! Muses who inspire the Poet's Song,
Record the journey of immortal Milton thro' your realms

It flows through old hushed Egypt and its sands,
Like some grave mighty thought threading a dream,
And times and things, as in that vision, seem
Keeping along it their eternal stands,--

A PITY beyond all telling
Is hid in the heart of love:
The folk who are buying and selling,
The clouds on their journey above,
The cold wet winds ever blowing,
...
Love has its own course.
It flies on unbreakable wings.
Those who alter, change or
Engineer its path,
...
Oh, if a tree could wander
and move with foot and wings!
It would not suffer the axe blows
and not the pain of saws!

They say life is a winding road with many paths to take.
But no matter how many paths I choose,
It's always a dead end,
I have to retrace my steps to find my mistake.

While morning sunbeam
Evaporated my dreams
Journey through green
Tea gardens and serene scene

I'm feeling so focused and calm today
nothing negative is gonna get in my way
my eyes are shining so bright and clear,
it feels like all my dreams, close to coming true are near.

I Kept On Walking
Fixed my eyes on the world
Strived to be a free bird

You go a long and lovely journey,
For all the stars, like burning dew,
Are luminous and luring footprints
Of souls adventurous as you.

Sweet words are like little pearls,
Beautiful and illuminating,
When words are strung together
Like a pretty pearl necklace,

Tell me you stones, O speak, you towering palaces!
Streets, say a word! Spirit of this place, are you dumb?
All things are alive in your sacred walls
eternal Rome, only for me all’s still.

Blackcurrant river rolls unknown in strange valleys;
the voices of a hundred rooks go with it,
the true benevolent voice of angles:

I'm not sure when I entered you.
I'm not sure when or how you accepted me,
but one thing is certain: we became inseparable,
indispensable, and necessary to life.

It sheds off a gram each day

Through many a land your journey ran,
And showed the best the world can boast:
Now tell me, traveller, if you can,
The place that pleased you most."

Wait until God is finished
Faith is not just a side-dish
And there's no clear finish line
To let you know you've arrived.

A land of leaning ice
Hugged by plaster-grey arches of sky,
Flings itself silently
Into eternity.

Awake! Awake! for the earliest gleam
Of golden sunlight shines
On the rippling waves, that brightly flow
Beneath the flowering vines.

Tasty food,
we enjoy much
but only its taste, .

My thankfulness for the sacred text
you have engraved on my obelisk
The hieroglyphics carved means so much

Alone, alone, alone
I was all alone
I was alone in my mother’s womb
I will be alone in my grave beneath the tomb

Rest in Peace Poetess Dorothy Alves Holmes.
Missing a long-time friend like you is very painful.
Our long poetic journey with you is detached.
We offer our prayer for your goodness and peace,

You sing a lullaby for me,
I shall dream about you.
We shall climb together on the silvery moonbeams,
And fall like a cotton candy from the translucent sky.

Birth launches the journey to death.
Make precious the moments in between
Like a lapidary enriches gemstones

The circle of your lantern patches snow.
Your face is weather beaten by wind's blow.
The safe moon is unreachable by air,
The fall of dark too eloquent to bear.

It’s okay love, you can go now,
but set the door ajar as you leave –
just enough for the light of your memory
to shine through.

Waning without a lifeline.

I had taken the longest journey
Coming home when I was lost
By the signs of the dust of feet
The lion in the herd of sheep

That fateful day I was born
My eyes opened up blissfully to the sun
My soul, heart and brain emerged as one

Often when they start their journey do notfind the way to proceed
Like the boat when surrounded by the storm

Troubles and stripes were always there ready to pull me down.

for this soulful journey
to be as valuable and inspiring
