Above the Salt

You filled courage in love to bloom

You are confluence spirit of two worlds,

Adoring words you caught

Cut down the head of the wrath,

Tyranny bow before your nerves

The remarkable piece you exist in the world,                                  

Beyond everything you embrace Patience

You Rumi,

A way of cure and peace

Unanswered heartache buried beneath your wisdom

You collected all the silence coins

And made an ocean of life from it

The ecstasy you sew in this nature

Makes you Above the Salt.
