Quote Me Rumi
QUOTE ME RUMI
A little poem a dark soul brought forth
One hour of loneliness and misery;
Yet round it swung the keen stars of the North,
And deep within it moaned a troubled sea.
The joyous trust of those eternal fires,
And all the calm those billows yearn unto,
Were in that poem, in that soul's desires,
And in the Heart that flashed the vision through.
The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
Awakening, sweet flowers of summer-tide long overdue.

Inspired by the Rumi Quote,
"The wound is the place where the Light enters you"
