Flutter Your Own Wings (4/12/2020)

Flutter Your Own Wings (4/2/2020)

O heart, you go nowhere on this road with talk and gossip.

You cannot reach the Beloved unless you pass through the door of Absence.

You have to flutter your own wings where His birds fly, O heart.

They don’t give out wings, O heart.

Rubailer (2016), Rubai #2, page 165.
