"From deep within my heart I always catch the scent of my Beloved. How can I help but follow that fragrance?" By Rumi Drowned in delicate perfume of the gorgeous bouquet, Glistening moon floating in sea of stars, you I see, Smell your scent in ambrosial Chrysanthemum How can I not be astounded with your beauty! Found you dancing joyfully in a sublime garden, I knew you were my Princess, like a butterfly You left the oasis, but the alluring scent stayed, I became a traveller in the world wandering by. Walked tirelessly hundreds and thousands miles for you, Crossing vast dales and tall soaring mountains far, Your fragrance brought me back to harmony of life , How did I not know where my beloved were!

I definitely drowned in the fragrant beauty of this excellent offering, Mala! Rumi lit a spark, but you, dear friend, turned that into an ardent flame! (a fav for me!) ~ Warm regards // paul
