Excerpt
Path
Walking down the path
I can't refrain to laugh
We are all so serious
Some are so mysterious
We pretend the way we know
When we're walking in a row
But the funny thing it is
None of us have any clue
Where we're going, why and how
But it's sure we'll find somehow
That the way is clear and true
But not down or up or side
It's just straight and deep inside
Life
Man, the life is all so tough
When you’re sitting in the rough
But a voice came close and asked
Why you’re sitting in a dump?
Standing up is just enough
Gosh, the future seems so dark
When you’re running out of luck
Voice said: Luck is never in a stack
Sweating brings the fortune back
Oh, this mountain is so high
Getting over makes me cry
Voice said: What a baby, oh, my, my
Move your feet and fly the sky
You can do it if you try
Reviews:
I said to Rumi as we laid around the campfire beneath the starry sky: "Pity us, Master! Can't you make it simpler for the minds of mere mortals? For God has eternity to decipher the words of your Love. We are running out of time. By morning, this fire will turn to ash, and so we will burn up in our desire to grasp the words of your Love for Him."
Master smiled and, to the horror of my companions, threw his book in the fire. "Sleep, he said, for tomorrow you will have the Time and the fire will re-kindle your Desire."
The morning came; Master was long gone... centuries, it seems. Our rested eyes turned to the fire site. There, steaming over the heat of the still dying coals, another book was born. It lay in front of us, crisp and inviting - Dragos Ionel's SIMPLE POEMS.
Dragos' book makes clear to us in simple terms the loving and direct relationship the narrator has to God, to the divinity present in children and family life, to the mystery of existence, and to the sanctity of his honest search for holiness. Reminiscent of Rumi's depth, but made accessible to readers of all walks of life through through lucid modern expression, this book is a must read for those who wish to re-kindle the fire of desire beneath their seeking.

Simple Poems is a delightful book!
The poems are stepping stones throughout a journey of a seeker of Truth, who has found the Answer.
They are simple and deep, conveying the with much innocence the joy of the author.
I was happy to discover them.
