You've Traveled And Toiled In Vast Deserts Poem by Mohammad Younus

You've traveled and toiled in vast deserts,
In search of the Real.
So many long days you have spent,
In the libraries and archives;
Reading, copying, and making notes.
On paper, ipads, and laptops.
The gravity of the meditation and,
The profundity of the study,
And the renunciation of comforts,
(that God had not forbidden to you)
Make a heavy weight on your feeble bones;
Here! I've picked a bunch of wild roses,
From the divine garden of roses.
Their meaning and utility is profound, a
And their fragrance connects to the Real.
They're the flowers of all time!
They never fade and lose their fragrance!
Do you not remember what the great sage,
Of Kashmir had told afore:
'Get a flower provided it is a wildflower'!
