Out Beyond the Ideas.

Goldfinch60



I know of a wondrous place

Where peace and love abound,

A spacious field of luscious green

Where I know that I’ll be found.

 

It is out beyond those ideas,

Ideas that may well be right,

Ideas that may well be wrong,

Out where darkness fails in light.

 

So look beyond your mind

And to the future yield,

I will be there for you,

So  join me in my field.

 

That field is there waiting for you,

My wondrous field of dreams.

    Wonderous words Goldfinch. The Rumi piece you quote has been one of my fav's for a long time and is on my profile page here.

    I think the message is unconditional love from Rumi. Let us put differences away and rejoice in our humanity.

      Thank you d a, yes I saw that saying on your profile as I looked at your profile after I read your poem just now and thought you may make the comment, I came across it in a book I was reading.

      Let us go to that field.

      Good write Gold.
      Why didn't I get the hang of it? I walked in a 'field of dreams' - but trod in a pile of manure! Doh!

      • Goldfinch60

        In my field of dreams there is no manure so all will be well Orchi.
