Untitled (?) Rumi Poem

I'm responsible for posting Wednesday's dailyrumi every week. Today I chose this poem. I'm cross posting it here because it really fits my mood tonight.

Rumi )

spirit, rumi, poetry, life

Thanks, lost_heart_less. I'm glad it touched you. Rumi is fantastic in every way. If you're not already, I suggest joining dailyrumi. Good stuff.

Thank you so much! I only wish they were my words. I do not have Rumi's mad poetry skills.

rumi is always brilliant.
i especially like this line
"i have many times
like my own imagination
died and
been born again"

rumi is always brilliant.

So true. :) I like that part, too. I also like these:

and all along i felt
as tender as a crystal
ready to be shattered

and

how can i survive
riding a lonely
little boat
with no oars
and no arms

Because your inner strength, courage and beauty carry you as a strong current along your path. Your brilliant light is the sail to harness the wind. The roots of your beliefs are your tiller. Sail on Sister!

Look Ma! No hands!
