A Poem

Stars Are Shining

O my Lord, stars are shining
And the eyes of men are closed.
Kings have shut their doors
And every lover is alone with his beloved.
Here I am alone with you.

Rabia Al-Adawiyya

Good night.
Love,
Henri

  1. That's really nice. Ironic, I often wonder how people can live with their eyes wide shut (I hate quoting that movie, wasn't my fave). The starts are bright, but we resist seeing the light.
