It came from a man who knows me well enough to know who my favorite poet is - and I don't speak often of poetry, it's is a very personal thing to me.
You live inside my heart where no one sees you. But I do. And that vision becomes this art....
There was a dawn I remember
when my soul heard something from your soul.
I drank water from your spring
and felt the current take me...
is there a gift more beautiful?

I didn't really think anyone would read that post - I was just sharing my joy with the universe.

I saw yours out there on page one.
And I thought "what a nice post."
Sharing is good!
I also love Rumi's poetry.
