Avicenna And The Soul Poem by Mohammad Yousef

By Mohammad A.Yousef


In the quiet chambers of thought,
where shadows dance on parchment,
Avicenna, a seeker of light,
wove threads of reason and spirit,
a tapestry of existence,
where the soul whispered its secrets,
an ethereal echo in the vastness of being.

He stood at the crossroads of mind and matter,
a philosopher with the heart of a healer,
navigating the rivers of wisdom,
where knowledge flowed like an endless stream,
and the essence of humanity lingered,
a flickering flame in the night.

What is the soul? he pondered,
a question like a bird in flight,
soaring through the skies of inquiry,
untethered by the weight of the flesh,
a divine spark, a breath of the infinite,
that stirs within the chambers of our hearts,
an inner light guiding us home.

In his writings, the words danced,
each syllable a step towards understanding,
the soul, a unity of intellect and desire,
a celestial compass navigating the cosmos,
where the earthly and the divine converge,
an unbroken bond, a hymn of existence.

He spoke of the soul's journey,
its ascent through the realms of thought,
a ladder of reason leading to the divine,
where the intellect shines like a star,
a guide through the labyrinth of life,
illuminating paths of virtue and truth,
each step a testament to the quest for meaning.

And in the marketplace of ideas,
his voice resonated, a clarion call,
to seek beyond the veil of appearances,
to touch the essence of what we are,
reminded that the soul is not a solitary flame,
but a constellation of connections,
woven into the fabric of humanity.

Through the corridors of time,
his legacy endures,
a beacon for those who dare to question,
to explore the depths of their own being,
for in the heart of Avicenna's wisdom lies,
the timeless truth that we are more,
more than flesh and bone,
more than the transient whispers of the world.

We are the dreamers, the seekers,
the bearers of a sacred flame,
and as we wander through the landscapes of life,
let us remember the words of the sage,
that the soul, in its infinite grace,
is the bridge to the eternal,
a reminder that we are all connected,
in the grand symphony of existence,
a part of the divine melody,
echoing through the ages,
a song that celebrates the soul.
