Mermaid's comment to my last post reminded me of Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi's Poetry and so I visited today this site on Rumi, again after quite a while. While going through it, I came across the following poem and it reminded of English, August's post, The Answer.
WE LIVE
in an ocean of spirit,
yet our lips are always parched.
That thirst is the flawless scheme.
A lack that leads us the way sun
nudges shadows along.
- Duane Tucker from Reflections on Rumi
Only sweet-voiced birds are imprisoned.
Owls are not kept in cages.

Took the liberty of checking out this the site below, appeals to me greatly.Love the choice of words in the poem you choose like.. ocean of spirit, and flawless scheme, also read the poem on the scars of the hearts showing etc.. found it absolutely captivating.Maybe cos I like to keep mine hidden.. : )
Beautiful poem. I am glad you put it up. Thanks for sharing it.
Ocean of spirit will surely leave one's lips parched... coz spirit is alcohol and water is not.
