Sara Kendrick Poet Monchielle Stanza

Notes About The Poem

Task

"Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. "  Quote by Rumi

Seek not the right person
Seek to be made right within
Travel to your soul's depths
See what is wrong, repair
Stay long, search, take deep breaths

Seek not the right person
Pray for help in being right
Search your soul, then love comes
If you love at all times
True love will overcome 

Seek not the right person
Learn to give of yourself
Freely share worldly goods
Love others as you should
Stay away from falsehoods 

Seek not the right person
Learn to build souls up
Reach down fill empty cups
With kind words each day
Let us all be grownups  

Seek not the right person
But right within your soul
Not self-righteous and proud
We can be wonderful
A heart just ploughed and sowed

Ink Empress January 22, 2024 at 9:50 AM So true and wise words by Rumi you’ve shared with us. Sometimes we forget what we seek outside is merely within us, and we need this reminder to seek within not outside: and i love the picture youv used too! Art of ignorance .. and art of knowing, they make sense: pleasure reading you! Sending you light always Sara Kendrick January 22, 2024 at 10:19 AM IE, you kind review is so awesome. Rumi has some very good sayings. Thank you for stopping by. I hope to post something in the future. Sara K
