" The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,

they're in each other all along."

From Essential Rumi

Drops of Hope

                 
                 
                 When the loved one hurt you,
  tears carry hope for renewed love,
  as  spring raindrops promise new life
           after a dark winter of wind, snow and ice.
         

 If there were no love, no hope
 - cold heart turns tears into rime;
 you may cry inside,
 but your eyes will stay dry.                                                
   

   When hurt,
   for as long as  sprouts of  hope 
   germinate under tending rays
   of your heart's love 
  - you will cry
