I often dream of living near a stream
with Rumi to keep me company.
I often dream of living near a stream
that gurgles even in the summer.
I often dream of living near a stream
that bubbles with liquid birdcalls.
I often dream of living near a stream
where cicadas buzz in the noon.
I often dream of living near a stream
where pelf and power don't matter.
I often dream of living near a stream
that brings me closer to heaven.

My Poem for this week.
The words have a calming effect, like looking at a stream and listening to the sounds it makes.
ReplyDeletebeautiful dream and a nice flowing poem, much like the stream you describe. nice job!
ReplyDeleteThe repetition creates a lulling movement like sitting by a stream. It would be nice just to visit a while with Rumi and listen to his wisdom and poetry.
