Let’s Go Home

Let's Go Home

Late and starting to rain, it’s time to go home.

We’ve wandered long enough in empty buildings.

I know it’s tempting to stay and meet those new people.

I know it’s even more sensible

to spend the night here with them,

but I want to go home.

We’ve seen enough beautiful places with signs on them

saying This is God’s house.

That’s seeing the grain like the ants do,

without the work of harvesting.

Let’s leave grazing to cows and go

where we know what everyone really intends,

where we can walk around without clothes on.

~ Rumi

    This never seems to work well in the morning. I’ll fix the website to make the poem look the way it should tonight.
