Several Times In The Last Week

Several Times In The Last Week

Maybe we should make this poem into a song –

How does this refrain sound, for I know it as a
Truth:

Ever since happiness heard your name, it has
been running through the streets trying to find
you.

And several times in the last week, God Himself
has come to my door –
asking for your address

wanting the beautiful warmth of your heart’s fire.


            This poem is delighting, recall the Rumi quote: “What you seek is seeking you.” Hafiz tells us that happiness is coming for us, that it’s hunting us down, and that God Himself wants to draw near. I take this to mean that you’re never alone when two of the top forces in the universe are seeking you.



Here’s a great article to reflect on about writing: The Daily Routine of Great Minds
