Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

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

Timothy Hicks June 5, 2013 at 11:54 PM 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!

Andrea Dietrich June 2, 2013 at 3:19 PM well, I decided to go find rumi after all. He was the ancient poet, Persian one? Reminded me a bit of Kahil Gibran.
