A Star with No Name


When a baby is taken from the wet nurse,
it easily forgets her and starts eating solid food.

Seeds feed awhile on the ground,
then lift up into the sun.
So you should taste filtered light
and work toward that which has no personal covering.

That's how you came here, like a star with no name.
Move in the night sky with those anonymous lights.

At the request of a Rumi Reader, I have enabled comments, because I agree that someone, sometime might want to write about the power of Rumi's words. So many times they have met me in ways I just have to share, and so I want you to have that opportunity here. There is no expectation for comments, but please do write something if you feel the urge. ~ Ruth
