Work Without Hope -Samuel Taylor Coleridge

All Nature seems at work. Slugs leave their lair– The bees are stirring–birds are on the wing– And WINTER slumbering in the open air, Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring ! And I, the while, the sole unbusy thing, Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor...

Three Poems -Jalaluddin Rumi

Any lifetime that is spent without seeing the master Is either death in disguise or a deep sleep. The water that pollutes you is poison; The poison that purifies you is water. ******** Any soul that drank the nectar of your passion was lifted. From that water of life he...

The Props assist the House -Emily Dickinson

I Am Alone -Rabia Al Basri

Carl Sandburg I Am the People, the Mob I am the people—the mob—the crowd—the mass. Do you know that all the great work of the world is done through me? I am the workingman, the inventor, the maker of the world’s food and clothes. I am the audience that witnesses history. The...

Loveliest of Trees -A. E. Housman

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough, And stands about the woodland ride Wearing white for Eastertide. Now, of my threescore years and ten, Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy springs a score, It only leaves me fifty more. And since...

In Silence -Jalaluddin Rumi

A Guide has entered this life, in silence. His message is only heard, in silence. Take a sip of His precious wine And lose yourself. Don’t insult the greatness of His love, for he helps all those who suffer, in silence. Polish the mirror between the breaths. Go with Him,...

Sparking Imagination -Abu Shahed

Beat! Beat! Drums! -Walt Whitman

Beat! Beat! Drums! -Walt Whitman

Beat! beat! drums!–blow! bugles! blow! Through the windows–through doors–burst like a ruthless force, Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation, Into the school where the scholar is studying; Leave not the bridegroom quiet–no happiness must he have now with his bride, Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, ploughing his...

Because I cannot sleep -Jalaluddin Rumi

Because I cannot sleep -Jalaluddin Rumi

Because I cannot sleep I make music at night. I am troubled by the one whose face has the color of spring flowers. I have neither sleep nor patience, neither a good reputation nor disgrace. A thousand robes of wisdom are gone. All my good manners have moved a thousand...

Lead Poem

Allama Muhammad Iqbal THE WITHERED ROSE O withered rose! How can I still call you a rose? How can I call you the longing of nightingale’s heart? Once the zephyr’s movement was your rocking cradle In the garden’s expanse joyous rose was your name The morning breeze acknowledged your benevolence...
