A Poem by… Rumi
For this week’s creative prompt, I offer a poem:
Out beyond ideas
of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down
in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language
- even the phrase “each other” -
do not make any sense.

Gosh, I posted this a few hours ago, before I saw the topic, but this quote from the prompt:
When the soul lies down
in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
… seemed very fitting.
THIS is my submission.

Pas facile d’interpréter ce thèmes en photo, surtout que je ne suis pas sur d’avoir bien compris la traduction

Honestly, this poem has spoken to me today. I wish I could be in the poem with my DH. Maybe that would make it all better?

I love the poem too, and had also never heard of Rumi. I will have to do some searching for other poems.
I did two. One, a painting:

on the day of reckoning,
it will not be counted.”
