Finding Love -Rumi
I have wandered
down lonely paths
of once dreary lands
those intricate alleys reeked
of hatred, betrayals -
seeking love in every nook and corner
In my mother’s bosom and
that fatherly touch
in the sibling’s light banter and
my mate's gentle hug
have I longed for that blessing
Wary of these journeys I lay
awake through the lengthy nights
at the end of every path I find
barriers, so strong
and I fail to break through
I linger and realize
a kind of revelation
and it blooms
for the barriers lie within me
created by the depth of my wounds
against feelings tender
and now I see light seeping
with an angelic glow
It encompasses me and I break through
Finally, I hear his calling
and the feeling wash through me
that wonderful feeling… that’s LOVE....
