On this road I stand alone
Oh my lord, just carry me home
All my fibers and all my bones
Are yours if you take me home
How much more should I sacrifice?
Lead me Lord to paradise
I’ve brought my truths and no lies
Take me now to paradise
Give me shelter in your dome
Oh my lord just take me home
May my truth and faith suffice
Lead me now to paradise
I decided to scroll to the beginning. Something about the words and the name enticed me to follow. Now ill take it day by day to catch up. Until we all fly away, one day. One day we’ll see each other in the clouds.

Hey, I don’t know if you are familiar with Sufi poetry, but I think you should check it out. Based on this poem, I think you would really connect with it. “Islamic Mystical Poetry: Sufi Verse from the Early Mystics to Rumi” (from Penguin Classics) is the collection I have and it is excellent. (I would also recommend reading the introduction as it provides some important historical and thematic context).

Really? So Axl and I think alike. He was just born before me.
I wonder if I will ever be able to write a poem called ‘Roar’ without it being compared to a Katy Perry song.

Or “Yesterday”, or “Sugar, sugar”, or… They say it’s all been thought of. I somehow doubt that. Time for some nonsequitors, me thinks.
Hot kangaroos in heat,
bouncing while the couple,
Is such a tricky feat,
as organs must be supple.
