Love rests on no foundation.
It is an endless ocean,
with no beginning or end.
Imagine,
a suspended ocean,
riding on a cushion of ancient secrets.
All souls have drowned in it,
and now dwell there.
One drop of that ocean is hope,
and the rest is fear.

I have heard from several sources that you are really a furstrated poet. Does Rumi make your list of "favorites"?

Does his poetry translate regardless of your background?

No poet is frustrated
Not as a poet
the talent may be demonstrated

Tho no one is there to know it.


Rumi is famous the world over
He calls us each to sing
not to also grow famous .

but for Gods sake to sing.
