This is how I would die
into the love
I have for you:
as pieces of cloud
dissolve in sunlight
…..rumi
Rumi…the master poet….the describer of that deep love which arrives when we give up our self. My favorite poet.

Thank you Mariaā¦ā¦do you have the illustrated Rumi, translated by Colman Barks?
Thank you for introducing me to this Rumi poetry. My grandpa died this week and this is how I hope the passing was for him.
Of course….it was such an experience. Everything is about love. If you are drawn to the poetry of Rumi, I would suggest looking for “The Illuminated Rumi.” It is one of many Rumi translations by Coleman Barks. I particularly like this one because of the mystical illustrations. Love, peace Gretchen
