Rumi - more grace

This particular piece has been on my mind a lot lately, especially as I try to keep myself relatively calm in the midst of some heaviness in different areas of my life. Rumi, being the master, captures it best. Aaron Weiss makes a good attempt to modernize it in mewithoutyou's "tie me up, untie me," but I prefer the original.


Pale sunlight,
pale the wall.

Love moves away.
The light changes.

I need more grace
than I thought.
