You are the quietness
poised on the pool
before the first breeze wakes
or ever a bird stirs or morning breaks _
Tethered by trials
your body comforts
imparting
surpassing power to bless _
When my worlds fume
and strain to fall apart
I find their wholeness _ and my own
within your heart _
Oh gosh. This takes me back to the poetry of Mevlana, who wrote to the universe as a beloved companion. I know this is a beautifully personal poem, but it has a universal, even cosmic, appeal. I am improved by it. Thank you.

DeleteOh Margie - it's just so beautiful - and for some reason the word delicate came to me as i read it.
ReplyDeleteI must go check out Mevlana who Geo. talked about above.
