This weeks post, inspired by the 13th century Persian poet, Rumi. His poems amaze by feeling as relevant today as any contemporary poem.
Eternity
800 years ago, at 4 am
Someone wondering blank empty streets.
When asked, Why?
His reply:
If I knew, I’d have gone home hours ago.
And still we wonder, we search, we seek,
Stumble over glimpses and clues,
Comforted to know the search is eternal.

Must confess total ignorance of Rumi who Wikipedia quotes as being, among many honours, “most popular poet” in the US.
