The Way Wings Should

What will
our children do in the morning?
Will they wake with their hearts wanting to play,
the way wings
should?
Will they have dreamed the needed flights and gathered
the strength from the planets that all men and women need to balance
the wonderful charms of
the earth
so that her power and beauty does not make us forget our own?
I know all about the ways of the heart - how it wants to be alive.
Love so needs to love
that it will endure almost anything, even abuse,
just to flicker for a moment. But the sky's mouth is kind,
its song will never hurt you, for I
sing those words.
What will our children do in the morning
if they do not see us
fly?

Great poem from Rumi to post. Thank you Angel. That last line hit me hard in a good way.
I pray for your happiness and your brother’s wherever you both may be.

Samme
Yes… Rumi always touches that place within… and you Samme… so much love ~ thanks for touching me from your within… so much love within… the only place for it to go is out… thanks for spreading your beautiful love vibes to one and all… all over the world!
