Somewhere between Shams and Rumi


On Hassan's quote


You caressed me  

with ease from hardship

as I'd lapsed into anger

in a rage, in a storm of fury 

arisen out of love

Out of hurt that love was

rejected or ne'er sought

by souls that were not

and claimed still

forgiveness for atrocities

and none for others.

The non-souls

slaying prophets

stoning messengers

scourging redeemers

for they hate

what they don't understand

as they expel 

love for they do not have.

You hit me, indeed

there is ease with hardship

you reproached me with love

and so I bowed and embraced it


Again.
