Contemplation - Rumi

CONTEMPLATION - RUMI Alone, atop a stony perch, I sit entranced by the unmoving road which unlike the moving river flows neither - to or from- just is. In the darkly stained pavement I seek evidence of man’s true nature await a vision of his divinity seek his connection to his God. A light rain swirls in oily rainbows earthbound aurora reflecting moonlight a miniature solar system resplendent in the charisma of its stirring milky way. Adrift upon this mist of color, reaching to touch the edges of life peace finds me rooted to a broken barrier pleading with myself to release its hold. I glimpse the eternity of presence denied – not to me – but by me retreat into the loneliness of fear feel the cold wet rain flow past.
