“This is how it always is when I finish a poem.
A great silence comes over me,
and I wonder why I ever thought
to use language !”
adapted quote by RUMI
Words…
courageous attempt to convey the nuances of the heart…
subtleties of the breath within
our innermost thoughts
speaking though the whimsical lines and curves of letters that become words
only…
still we are not heard…
the pulse within still longs
the emotions prolonged
Jane, that very nice, it must be like after a meditation.

yes…the quote that is under the photo is Rumi’s—his writing is so beautiful! The photo is mine that I took when I lived in Kenya — the view from my backdoor.
