*smiles* and felicity

~Silent, but...~
I may be silent, but
I'm thinking.
I may not talk, but
Don't mistake me for a wall.
~Shigeji Tsuboi (1898-1975)
translated from the Japanese by Geoffrey Bownas & Anthony Thwaite

I lost my world, my fame, my mind---
The Sun appeared, and all the shadows ran.
I ran after them, but vanished as I ran---
Light ran after me and hunted me down.
~Rumi (1207-1273)
translated from the Persian by Andrew Harvey

These are just a few that I found in one of my beautiful poetry books. Pierced by a Ray of Sun selected by Ruth Gorgon. "Poems about the times we feel alone". Wise words summarized by wise people. Enjoy!
