Lockdown Nights in Oxford – A Poem by Rupert Spira

This is a poem written by Rupert after numerous late-night walks in Oxford during lockdown. During these walks, Rupert would often listen to poetry, music or readings from the world’s wisdom traditions. The poem chronicles these walks, and the poets, musicians, sages and mystics who accompanied him. In his own words, ‘It is a tour of some of the great minds in which I have immersed my own mind over these last few months, indeed my whole life. It’s a sort of homage and a song of gratitude to them’.
