Rumi and Faith Mixed

 

"#3, Rumi quote: Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do."


What I love is my perfect life,
Falling to my knees at life's strife:
And I seek beauty when alone:
O, God is my foundation stone.

I sketch till hands are pencil stained,
And write till my hands are ink veined:
I love to explore the unknown:
O, God is my foundation stone.

I tend lovely flowers growing,
Love my garden overflowing:
And sing in a voice monotone:
O,  God is my foundation stone.

What I do is my reflection,
thanks Rumi for the direction:
thanks Lord for heavenly light shone:
O, God is my foundation stone.

Poetry and art my delight,
love photos taken in dawn's light:
With Rumi and God I have grown:
O, God is my foundation stone.
