    ROSE LIGHT

    On the Urs of Rumi
    _______________________

    The candle cast light on the rose
    and the red of the rose ate the light
    and turned into a lamp

    Don’t turn your face from me
    Don’t turn your face from me

    There is a daf being beaten
    And a woman’s voice wailing
    a pitched plaint in the air of suffering
    up to the roof
    where the voice is soothed by the embrace
    of the night skies’ cool embrace

    Don’t turn your face from me
    Don’t turn your face from me

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
