Quote Me Rumi

As breaths sink into the pool of dim nights The wicker of angst grates more than I can bear, More a fading hope lost in pathways, cracked By utter alienation from riddled thorns… Yet, an inner candle banishes doubt, A lucent halo gleaming ever so near Though it knows not my name, it knows who I am, It guides a taper of faith with lit intuitions made, Until peace glows in my soul , telling me I am home. ---------------------- “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” Quote Me Rumi Contest of Silent One 12/3/2015
