Rise on Great Silent Wings
When these senses
fall into darkness,
will your heart
be a trustworthy flame?
When dust
fills your eyes,
will your grave
still be bright?
When hands
and feet fail,
will you rise then
on great
silent wings?
- Rumi
I am so small I can barely be seen.
How can this great love be inside me?
Look at your eyes. They are small,
but they see enormous things.
- Rumi

will your heart

When dust

will your grave

When hands
and feet fail,
will you rise then
on great
silent wings?

That's lovely. I'm glad you're open to Rumi. I should spend more time with him myself.
