Poems
Dec 2016
Don’t be bitter my friend. Rumi
Don't be bitter my friend
you’ll regret it soon
hold to your togetherness
or surely you’ll scatter
don’t walk away gloomy
from this garden
you’ll end up like an owl
dwelling in old ruins
face the war and
be a warrior like a lion
or you’ll end up like a pet
tucked away in a stable
once you conquer
your selfish self
all your darkness
will change to light.
One of my very favorite poems. It meant a lot to me last year especially, as I was working through significant health issues.
