A Rumi Inspired Poem
I come to Life's pizza buffet A Beggar, with ravenous hunger, A patient/less guest At the Banquet of Life and Truth "Oh, you pious ones, Pray over this pizza!!" "For myself, let my taste buds say my prayer. Let my stomach say 'Amen'". "Oh proper guests, please, Shine forth in your properness, And let me eat!" "If you are not bringing the latest warm dish, Do not bother my communion with Allah; I have come to eat And be satisfied!" © 1996 Shamsuddin Jim Norton Sign in to see full entry.
