Leave it!

In the spirit of Rumi…

Beautiful necklace of favor
amused the men
angered the women
pridefully worn by the
Queen of the caravan.

Allah opened the clasp —
into the sand it was lost.

Do not chase this sparkling illusion
O’ Aisha
Allah gave you a better favor —
leave it!

It is suffering that shoots streams of creativity out of my heart, and the brokenness of life that explodes my heart into its soul.
