Today Only One Face*

From the book "Rumi Inspiration"

 

 

What happens if all rumors are true.

Don’t ask me where it comes from.

It is in the smell of morning air.

 

In the silence, conscience speaks out.

Something in the throat.

Line after line, are they in the same boat?

 

Many voices; howls, murmurs, whispers.

Many colors; white, black, yellow, brown...
