Ode To Rumi Poem by Farah Taskin

Just as green evokes youth and nature, and fragrance promises joy, Rumi's verses offer a sense of serenity
Reading the Masnavi with a mug of cold coffee in the soft afternoon light gives me a feeling that is nothing short of miraculous
'What you seek is seeking you '
The cosmos conspires to pull us together
'The wound is the place where the Light enters you'
My pain is a doorway
Light will eventually come to illuminate the dark
'Come, come, whoever you are '
I long to respond to it with all my heart
Spirituality beautifies the soul just as love beautifies life
I can sense the deep mysticism of Sufism
'You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop'
I am not a single wave, I am boundless
Do not confine me to the limits of a constellation, I am the entire sky
Rumi, you are the incomparable and melodious masterpiece
Every word pales in comparison to your praise
