Andrea Dietrich Poet Free verse

My Response To Rumi

To paraphrase the greatest of masters -
You may cast a stone
if you have no sin.

And if you say you have no sin?
Thus you have no need of healing.
fall into your pride
fall into your pride

"If you desire healing,
 let yourself fall ill
let yourself fall ill."
 - Jalaluddin Rumi
