- In my difficult search for poems of PEACE (those on WAR are easy to find), I have come across this by the 13th century Persian writer, philosopher and poet Jelaluddin Rumi. It probably loses a lot in translation, but there is sufficient coming through to make it interesting. The source of peace lies within us all. Jelaluddin Rumi A GARDEN... more

My heart aches as I whisper loud, Wish you'll never come, no... more
