Shams and Mevlana
Shams was laughing when he composed
Mevlana was turning and dancing
one laughs external, one internal
All speaking the same language
passing out Pearl Knowledge to
the rest of the vast ocean
reminding us that we can only
bear a jug full, a small glass
so we shouldn't rush
don't bet on the horse-race
just take one day at a time
don't borrow from tomorrow
take in only what is in
our capacity to handle
please no overdosing
on drugs
on sugar
on caffeine
on life
enjoy the smorgasbord but
only fill your plate
