Psychedelic Poetry
    #14185637 - 03/26/11 06:43 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Was reading some Rumi (the 13th century Sufi poet) and had to share this poem with y'all. Of course poetry is almost always left up to the interpretation of the reader, but I couldn't help but see this poem in a psychedelic context.

Read on:


The Seed Market

Can you find another market like this?

Where,
with your one rose
you can buy hundreds of rose gardens?

Where,
for one seed
you get a whole wilderness?

For one weak breath,
the divine wind?

You’ve been fearful
of being absorbed in the ground,
or drawn up by the air.

Now, your waterbead lets go
and drops into the ocean,
where it came from.

It no longer has the form it had,
but it’s still water.
The essence is the same.

This giving up is not a repenting.
It’s a deep honoring of yourself.

When the ocean comes to you as a lover,
marry, at once, quickly,
for God’s sake!

Don’t postpone it!
Existence has no better gift.

No amount of searching
will find this.

A perfect falcon, for no reason,
has landed on your shoulder,
and become yours.

~ Rumi

"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

Not a poem, but maybe a good catalyst for poetic expression? :tripping:

great quote. he's a phenomenal poet for anyone looking to inject a bit of mystic thinking into their thought process.
