Rumi's quote: Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do.
                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Allow love to spur you in whatever you do,
Life's a canvas, awaiting artwork to ensue.
Ignite your passions and spark in the night,
Allow your soul to be your mentor, at full might. 

Allow nature splendor to serve as inspiration,
Exploring the cosmos with fascination.
Allow hues of sunset and budding flora to flow,
Assist you to paint art that makes souls glow.

Allow pristine music to lead your way,
whilst you empower melodies to play.
devote the beat to invigorate your soul,
Let music convey the soothing console.

Allow diction to flow fluidly from your pen,
You have skills to lustering tales echo again.
Allow your mind to flow freely, akin to a river,
Express out explicitly with words that shiver.

Allow euphoria of smiling at the scenery music,
As you put delight in each minor task you pick.
Maintain that your amusement is pervasive,
Send smiles to everyone's faces; be persuasive.

Allow mellifluous kinship to serve as an anchor,
facing various hurdles and rewards, or rancor.
May your ties be sturdy and your bonds deep,
Genuine friendship is a commodity to reap.

Genuine friendship is a commodity to reap... So true, yet so hard to find. A true friend loves you for who you are, not who they wish you to be. The world is full of lies and duplicity, yet I believe in the end love will conquer hate, good over evil. In the meantime, some battles are lost. We will carry our scars into the new world. Awesome poem Lasaad

This is a 'do list' for happy and successful living! If we do things with love and interest, the reward we will reap is tremendous. Each stanza is valuable, especially the last one. "Allow mellifluous kinship to serve as an anchor, facing various hurdles and rewards, or rancor. May your ties be sturdy and your bonds deep, Genuine friendship is a commodity to reap." Stitching up ties with fellow beings is the most important thing to be happy in life and friendship is the greatest treasure one can hoard. Dear Lasaad, you are not simply a poet, but a philosopher and guide too.
