I have realised I am really interested in exploring more texts, stories, novels, or poetry intertwinning love, spirituality, and the greater truth, stories that shake your soul into something more profound, How do I start exploring this realm? Any suggestion for a beginner like me?
I have loved listening to music with deeper layers and meaning and I am wondering if there are novels or works that would give me more to think about. I would also like to some suggestions on where should I start with when it comes to poetry.

There’ll be lots of people here who’ll suggest Rupi Kaur, so I’ll switch it up.
When I was a moody teenager, I was given a copy of The Gift by Hafiz and it sparked a life-long love for poetry. It’s a lot of poems about love and spirituality. Lyrical but readable, but multilayered.
A dear friend gave me Poetry Unbound by Padraig O Tuama, and its an excellent collection of 50 poems for someone starting to explore poetry, with a description as to thoughts about each poem. Highly recommend.
Rumi!
