Weary with the day, <br />it called to me <br /> <br />as if someone said, here… <br />I’ve run you a hot bath – <br />jump in! <br /> <br />I jumped in; <br />the waters settled round. <br /> <br />This is exactly what I need.. <br />there must be truth here. <br /> <br />No need to read a book <br />and seek for truth.. <br /> <br />This is so good, that <br />I do not need to ask, what is goodness.. <br /> <br />Now I know what beauty is <br />without looking for it. <br /> <br />I felt cleansed of all <br />that was not myself; stepped out the bath. <br /> <br />As I dried myself, I knew that <br />I had found myself again; <br /> <br />sighed with pure contentment; and <br />laid the poem gently down.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-spirit-of-rumi-53-immersed-in-poetry/
