A Poem by Amatullah Armstrong

Travelling
towards the Truth,

the self seeking the Light.



Not
the light of the stars

nor that of the moon.

Greater even than

the splendour of the sun.


Slowly
the self breaks its fetters.

The moment of return has arrived.


The
“Bird of Paradise”

rises from the carpet,

soars through the firmament

and onwards!


To
the Source of All Light.


And
truly,

the sky is not the limit

for this yearning bird-flower self!
