The Promised Land

The promised land The promised land Look for me in rainbows; I am always there. Dancing with your music, no time is to spare. I am always drunken, drunken with your songs. I’m living within you; you do always care. I will be the sunlight moonlight when it’s night. Nightingales sing all night since you are always bright. I am always drinking, drinking of your dew. Drunken like a swallow dancing in your light. I have been long awaiting, hoping to know you, I can hear your music, loving through and through. Me and all the flowers are always trying hard, Hoping you can teach us more than we can do. Watching you at sunset underneath a tree, Seeking to find wisdom, learning how to see. My eyes are so blinded they see only gray. Gray is always sorrow; free me in your glee. I am always lonely; nature is my friend. Talking, smiling, dancing is when I do pretend. Sounds of you are music, music to my soul, tell me, hold me, teach me how all this will end. 8/6/2022 Haloo "The sounds of Earth are the music of my soul." Rumi (Rubaiyat) Let Your Muse Be Inspired - R Form Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France The painting is an original acrylic on canvas, titled "The promised land."

Yes, it is... I do not usually enter any contests... The topics are usually very shallow. This one I liked a lot.Thanks, my friend... Be well...

WOW!!! What a beautiful write/painting. I love this one. A wonderful ending. Is this your quote, "The sounds of Earth are the music of my soul." If yes, did you add it to your quote page??? I wish you would write more. Have a great/blessed day...............

No, it is not... it's from a contest... Thanks anyway... I have to find a topic that interests me to write... I have a ton of masnavi, which are all stories.

Hi Pashang, such a wonderful Rubaiyat from your pen. I have missed seeing poetry written in this most wonderful form. This is an exceptional write, painted on the mind's canvas with such beautiful lines. Good Luck in the contest, this reads excellent. Sorry it has taken me so long to drop by. Have a wonderful Sunday ..... Mike.

When one as written of nature so well as this gem, it makes one want to guard what we have so much more.

My dear Harry...I have nothing but pain, the things I write are just remedies to take me out of this illusive reality... You are too kind to me... Thank you.

You brilliantly allow your avid reader to dive into the depth of your well and drink from your fine thoughts.. reach for your rainbow and relish in its satiating colours.. land on your promised land and feel with the heart what eyes could not see.. What a wonderful poetry, Pashang! A true treat to read! A gem of rarity! God bless you and your Muse of poetry! My deepest regards..
