Nothing really, but I received the best birthday present

Last edited Sun Sep 30, 2012, 06:14 PM - Edit history (1)



It came from a man who knows me well enough to know who my favorite poet is - and I don't speak often of poetry, it's is a very personal thing to me.



You live inside my heart where no one sees you. But I do. And that vision becomes this art....


There was a dawn I remember
when my soul heard something from your soul.

I drank water from your spring
and felt the current take me...

is there a gift more beautiful?

I didn't really think anyone would read that post - I was just sharing my joy with the universe.

I saw yours out there on page one.

And I thought "what a nice post."

Sharing is good!

I also love Rumi's poetry.
