Based on an ancient sufi tale originally told by Halqavi, The Food of Paradise is an adaptation that tells of a man’s quest in vivid detail and rhyme … a quest for the ultimate truth that ends in a surprising twist of fate.
Here’s an excerpt:
The Food of Paradise in rhyme,
A story that transcends time.
Although it dates back to a period some would call medieval,
In this story there are no sieges, no plagues, no monarchs, no cathedrals.
This is a story about truth and what it means to search for such,
How truth is illusive and always seems to vanish once in our clutch.
The entire story is available as a PDF download here:
What do you think of the story? Be kind, be mean. Be it in the comments.
