Rumi

[qos]

One of the joys of LJ is the poetry from Rumi, Hafiz and others which iswari posts from time to time. This was today's offering.


My blood is boiling. My heart is on fire
And the winter snow is melting away from my body

Someone's love is knocking me out
And pulling me after itself very forcefully

Though I am in this hell and fire
I'm filled with honey and nectar

Though I am condemned to take this journey
I'm filled with the sweetness of going home

~ Rumi


May we all be filled with the joy of "coming home."

That's beautiful...and fitting for me in so many ways. I LOVE Rumi.
