Beautiful rumi quote and meaningful words woven here. I love cinquains. And you did yours very well. Selfishness is a bad trait and many seem to have. But where love enters and is present, all that negativity leaves as love heals and fixes so much. Brilliant and profound write. Always enjoy reading you
