The Konya Well

 

My breaths are coins in the Konya well,

my wishes unknown to me

 

The ski tracks behind me are memories

of Someone I used to be

 

My mind is a moonlit night,

my body's the break of day

 

What's left is wrong & right;

opposites always at play

 

This moment's an iron gate

that opens on love & hate;

tread through to the upcoming fate

for the living and all who are late

 

Rumi walks with me every day,

searching for Shams, who still is away

Leave all goals now, and go astray;

all foundations are made of clay

 

My breaths are coins in the Konya well,

my wishes unknown to me

 

The ski tracks behind me are memories

of Someone I used to be

I absolutely love the two ski track stanzas: very clever. Well, let's face it the whole things is! Of course Rumi walks with you every day. :)
