From the poetry of Yosy Flug
« on: May 14, 2011, 04:18:45 AM »
'I was a mountain spring
Skipping merrily
From stone to stone
Streaming and singing
Hurrying among
Rocks.

As I grew
My song became a roar
As I grooved carelessly
Ancient boulders
And frothed between
Canyon walls

Increasing in volume
I flowed in the plains
Growing wider
And deeper
And thoughtfully slowing my pace.

Until I merged
Pacified
In the embrace
Of the endless beloved
The ocean

And then
Lifted up by your grace
From my slumber
I became vapor
Steaming and rising
Towards the sun.

Gathered into a cloud
Pushed by winds of desire
I floated toward the mountains
Falling as rain
Starting my journey to you
Again'

sorry to tell you that this part was originally written by Rumi when he was talking about his guru Shams (whose name in arabic means the sun)
