poem in rubai form

 Indulge me with a pen and some paper 

 I welcome only the purest of words 

  Indulge me with patience and insight  

 For the soul shall not reward those who hunt answers

Anata,
I enjoyed this very much... and learnt about a new style of poem in the same time. I feel you have captured something special with your words. Like Bubo said, it is almost like a proverb, and therefore it sounds very wise. The first line is gorgeous... I like the word Indulge, in that context.
Well Done, and thanks for the inspiration.

A Rubai is a classical oriental four-liner (Omar Khayyam and his Rubbaiyat, collection of Rubais are the most famous ones known in the west, one of my favourites, written about a thousand years ago!) ... Anata has written is for my Rubai contest ... Thank you, my dear! And what a profoundly wonderful Rubai this is. xxx

Suich a calming sense of self when I read this. Great job!

Truth is its own reward and only by seeking may we come to know the truth. So while I disagree, I do consent to indulge your own notions as your personal perception. As for myself, I will never be satisfied with less than the face of God.

That last line really made me think.........like a proverb.
Indulge and welcome
all very inviting............but the final line a clear message.
