Rumi
Before
death takes away
what you are given,
Give
away what is there to give.
No dead
person grieves
for his death.
He mourns
only what
he didn’t do.
Why did I wait?
Why did I not…?
Why did I neglect to…?
I cannot
think of better
advice to send.
I hope
you like it.
May you
stay in your infinity.
Peace.
