Rediscovery

Rediscovery

This Rumi poem turns to a woman rediscovering:

ای دوست شکر بهتر یا آنک شکر سازد

خوبی قمر بهتر یا آنک قمر سازد

***

Why waste your time chasing

after childish trinkets?

Your Treasure is hiding in plain sight!

The moon whispers:

The time has come to

abandon your sugar addiction

My sweet nectar awaits you

even in bitterness

***
