Truth

Truth is clear and One, but the veils of belief hide outward constructs causing spiritual grief. The Word is Truth, in reading some comprehend but the heart’s intuition does not transcend the Spirit’s intent, so, afraid to awake and slumbering ‘til death, His truth still opaque revealing dirty mirrors of illusion, but still espousing pride’s hidden confusion. The Truth is eventually diluted— the fruit bearing tree becoming uprooted with truth’s seeds being cast in Love’s wind waiting for Allah’s planting of rebirth, creating fresh hope and flourishing gardens of His Will always reborn, Truth never becoming nil.

Hi Sheryl, I am glad to see a masnavi. Your poem is spiritual, and I see lots of pain...but what is the truth? A lie told often enough becomes the truth....

I enjoy the masnavi form as well. However, spiritual truth is One Truth which comes from Allah. But, you make a good point--many people believe lies are truth which is what this masnavi addresses--the inability to see Allah's Truth.
