Ode to Rumi
Location
“Knock, And He'll make you open the door
Vanish, And He'll make you shine like Sun
Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens
Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.”
Oh Rumi, the Solomon, how you inspire the love, light
and laughter in life. You say,“There is a candle in your
heart, ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul, ready
to be filled. You feel it, don't you?” Yes!
Yes! Rumi, the words of which you speak, of wisdom and of truth,
sing to me as my soul swiftly sweeps through
the Universe as a cloud would float over
swishing seas. Her Roses
symbolize life in each and
every way. At times life, like petals, is
so beautiful and my soul so content! Others, like thorns.
Ouch! Very bitter and--I must confess,
in my quest,I feel depressed and out
of such rest. Then I think to myself, “Do not
worry, my love. The entire Universe
is inside of you ready to burst and grant you the
compassion and love in life in which I believe
is a right!” I imagine myself being enlightened
by the Tree- my soul evoked by peace and joy in which my
life is finally enjoyed by you, Rumi.
You.
