Rumi

Reflecting on the birds which fly overhead Rumi created "Birdsong" In the silence of spring Avian music charms us Do you not know what awaits you at the end of the journey? You do know! Yes,you do know So enjoy natural delights Feel the spring wind Listen to the birdsong as it creates a picture in sound Watch the birds float on the wind

Rumi is such a great poet, he has inspired much of my work. Go outside and take in the fruits of nature... you won't be disappointed. Great poem!

well, I decided to go find rumi after all. He was the ancient poet, Persian one? Reminded me a bit of Kahil Gibran.
