Throat-Song

The Nightingale, by Grace Ndirtu, 32-second video here

Let your throat-song
be clear and strong enough

to make an emperor fall full-length,
suppliant, at the door.

    It has, in Egypt, hasn't it...(political)

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
