Poem of the Atoms
Poem of the Atoms - meaning Summary
Creation Moved by Divine Love
The poem presents the universe as animated by divine love. Atoms, people, air, and desert all share a dance of ecstasy under the Beloved's light, a Sufi image for God's presence. Human feelings of happiness, misery, and confusion do not separate us from creation; they show our common movement toward a reality beyond ordinary speech and thought.
Read Complete AnalysesO’ day, arise! Shine your light, the atoms are dancing. Thanks to Him the universe is dancing. overcome with ecstasy, Free from body and mind I’ll whisper in your ear where their dance is leading them. All the atoms in the air and in the desert are dancing, puzzled and drunken to the ray of light, they seem insane. All these atoms are not so different than we are, happy or miserable, perplexed and bewildered, we are all beings in the ray of light from the beloved, nothing can be said.
