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

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