Floating Away
sunset awakens
fanciful dreams
as ethereal as clouds
floating away to kiss the night
with whispers of beauty and flight
~
while mind wanders
the heart remembers
kisses from Hafiz and Rumi
dancing upon my soul
intoxicated with light
~
P.S. This poem was inspired by Trini of The Inscrutable Paths of Spirit and the Veda poetry she shared. They reminded me heart has been missing the divine poetry of Rumi, Hafiz and Ihsan of iiThinks. This is my humble attempt to kiss your soul. 🙂
writing to freedom 
Very beautiful.

I love the:
‘kisses from Hafiz and Rumi
dancing upon my soul’
that made me smile, to be kissed by poet long gone! 🙂
I found one of those kisses of poem by Rumi on You Tube. It’s a translation and probably a paraphrased version I would guess, but still amazing, and read so beautifully. You might find it inspiring? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHSclx-hIRc&list=PLDzOQuD3cUay6NJu5eNj2TEgIPhC5K1p5

That was my favorite line too, I’m glad their kiss touched you too. XD Thanks for the link. I love that poem and reading by Coleman Barks, who is a prolific translator of Rumi’s work. Truthfully, I thought the video and music pairing odd and distracted from the poem. I prefer pairings like the two Rumi videos on my inspiration page. It looks like you were on a roll with San Francisco. 🙂
