Come Out of the Mud

More about Come Out of the Mud

Must you be
such a
stubborn mule
in the dark
standing firm
on the ground
that is slowly
being turned
into mud
by the rain
of negative
thoughts
you are holding
tight to
your heart.
Come now,
I call you,
as a friend
to follow a trail
that has been
haled
as beautiful
by those
who know
the way
to go
to the
best pastures,
full of
fresh ideas
under a
warm
illuminating
sun…
Come, have some
fun!
Pull free
of the mud
and crud!
Shake off
the disparity,
bring in hilarity,
step light, step light
with this tune
and soon
you will
be free
to follow me
to a bright
beautiful
scenery
with
the best
pastures,
and masters
of Life!
Pull FREE

In response, and inspired by a poem within the book, THE GIFT, Poems by HAFIZ, The Great Sufi Master, Translations by Daniel Ladinsky.

Certainly not to say I am a master or even an apprentice in any way of poetry or mystical insight—all is simply a creative endeavor to see what my own mind and heart may say of the poem, to try and put it into my own words, or simply to respond to the ideas set forth by HAFIZ, and translated by Daniel.

(My apologies, this footnote will be repeated as I intend, at least presently, to continue in this mode for awhile. I am quite curious how AI will interpret things and how I may work and play, tweek words and such to perhaps change the direction AI is taking, in the end, hopefully to make a dream worthwhile sharing.)

(poem my own) Now, Thanks to Riffusion, there is a song as well—if you wish to give a listen, follow the link below : )
