How
Did the rose
Ever open it’s heart
And give this world
All its
Beauty?
It felt the encouragement of light
Against its
Being,
Otherwise,
We all remain
Too
Frightened.

Thank you for this V Day gem! Boomeranging back some more Sufi poetry:
You’ve no idea how hard I’ve looked for a gift to bring You.
What’s the point of bringing gold to the goldmine, or water to the Ocean.
Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient.
It’s no good giving my heart and soul because you already have these.
So- I’ve brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me.
~ Jalaluddin Rumi
Amelia, I’m grateful for your consistently loving and heart-felt contributions. xoxo
