Poetry Is Small

Poetry is small
feelings are much larger

The poet Rumi has said:
"I'm so small, how can this great love be inside me?
Look at your eyes: they are tiny --
yet they see enormous things"

Perhaps this can be a poem
and work like eyes

Knowing you
is a sweet scented breath
of the jasmine gardens
in spring

Thank you for being
a friend
on the way

Poetry is small
but love,
like the truth
cannot be hidden.
