Darkness Into Light

don’t be bitter my friend

you’ll regret it soon

hold to your togetherness

or surely you’ll scatter

don’t walk away gloomy

from this garden

you’ll end up like an owl

dwelling on old ruins

face the war and

be a warrior like a lion

or you’ll end up like a pet

tucked away in a stable

once you conquer

your selfish self

all of your darkness

will change into light

“Don’t Be Bitter My Friend” ~ Rumi
