Inside the needle’s eye #Rumi #poetry

Starlight shining upon us,
Bent to the needle’s edges,
Piercing our consciousness,
Our living state of being,
Offering us a taste, hint,
Of eternity, of our future,
To ponder greater things…
 
Inside the needle’s eye,
A camel, a rich man’s treasure,
Light, love, temporal things,
Calling to our spirits,
to our vital essence,
Our living in this moment,
To ponder greater things…
