Hello beloveds and welcome to today's reading. A poem by Lumi. Come on sweetheart Command, Sweetheart. Let's adore one another before there is no more of you. And me, A mirror, Tells the truth. Look at your grim face brighten up and cast away your bitter smile. A generous friend gives life for a friend. Let's rise above this animalistic behavior. And be kind to one another. Spite darkens friendships. Why not cast away malice from our heart? Once you think of me dead and gone, You will make up with me. You will miss me. You may even adore me. Why be a worshipper of the dead? Think of me as a goner. Come and make up now. Since you will come and throw kisses at my tombstone later. Why not give them to me now? This is the same me, That same person. I may talk too much. But my heart is silence. What else can I do? I am condemned to live this life.
