Collected Poems: Revised and Augmented

Exploring the themes of Sufism, Martin Lings reflects on the spiritual significance of earthly experiences as mere shadows of divine realities. He emphasizes that true blessings are found in the celestial realm, while the beauty of this world hints at a greater source. Lings articulates the role of art in capturing these transcendent qualities, suggesting that it reveals the "wings" of earthly objects that connect them to their divine origins. This collection includes three previously unpublished poems that embody these profound insights.
