Voyage Beyond:
A Song of the Boundless
We hail from the heights, where the sky’s breath flows,
Born of the sea, where the deep tide knows.
No home in this world, no anchor to stay,
We’re wanderers of the boundless, drifting away.
Noah’s ark on the soul’s wild sea,
No hands to steer, no feet to free.
Like a wave that rises, cresting high,
We bow to the sea, and watch from the sky.
Each friend has found me in their own heart’s dream,
Yet none have touched my soul’s true stream.
My secret’s near, within each sigh,
Yet sightless ears and blinded eyes.
Body and soul: no wall, no chain—
But who can glimpse the soul’s domain?
The soul is there in every breath,
Yet none are shown its secret depth.
Rumi
