“Spring, your luminous face
resembles the face of the Friend
have you borrowed it from Him?
You are a feast for the eyes
yet your essence is hidden
like that of the soul.
The trials of winter are over
beautiful rose, lift your head and smile
the thunder has announced the arrival of spring.
The lily urges her young buds
to open their eyes and behold
the splendor of the Garden.
Stirred by the wind that carries
the sweet scent of union
the branches dance in celebration.”
~ Rumi
Spring’s “luminous face”

Thanks Loisajay! It’s a tulip actually. I posted a photo of it earlier, but at a different angle. 🙂

Thanks Ruth! Rumi’s poetry is so beautiful, I love that last line, especially…
“Stirred by the wind that carries
the sweet scent of union
the branches dance in celebration.”
Wish I had a photo to show that…
Thunderstorms in the forecast here all weekend, so there will probably be no gardening for me, but I’m really enjoying the thunder too! 🙂
Much love to you, Ruth xx
