The Soul Seeks Oneness Poem by Mystic Qalandar

It is with the divine intellect that one seeks Oneness,
beneath the stars' quiet gaze, the heart reaches for Oneness.

A whisper of inspiration falls like sacred rain,
and in each drop of light, the soul tastes Oneness.

Rivers sing their secrets to the listening moon,
and through their silver flow, the soul finds Oneness.

Beyond the veil of self, in unseen gardens,
where night winds bear fragrance, the heart seeks Oneness.

The dawn unveils its crimson robe to the world,
and within every hue, the soul glimpses Oneness.

Mountains stand silent, keepers of the eternal Word—
in their deep, patient stillness, the soul attains Oneness.

Each bird's humble hymn at the birth of day
proclaims to all who listen that all seek Oneness.

The silence between breaths carries hidden fire;
in that intimate trembling, the soul discovers Oneness.

When sorrow turns to prayer upon the lips,
through tears washed with grace, the heart embraces Oneness.

The candle burns, consumed in its own surrender—
in its vanishing light, the soul perceives Oneness.

Ocean tides thunder against the patient shore,
yet in their deep returning, the soul returns to Oneness.

The beloved's gaze unlocks the heart's own wine,
and in that sweet awakening, the soul awakens to Oneness.

O seeker, release the dust of transient desires;
in surrender's flame, the soul unites with Oneness.

And when nothing remains—no name, no form—
where only silence reigns, the soul becomes Oneness.
