**Line from Rumi poem used in my poem, Poetry Assignment * 2004

(Who indeed would be so fortunate?)

JUST JOURNEY ON

All caves in around you,

Ground becoming quicksand...

Threatening to engulf...

Never sleep in..never say done...

Awaken anew, kick pricks...

Dig out, Dig out..Dig out,

Recover from doom,

Get up, Get up..Stay awake,

Be alert, do your part!

Everyday, every hour...

Possible for Humans,

Persistence, Passion..Don't Quit,

Get up, Get up..Start I say,

Start your day, bathe away dirt,

All things will pass..tomorrow...

Strange but familiar forces say brain,

Help..It's time, You will find a way,

Who indeed would be so fortunate? **

Only you, when you climb the mountain,

Get out of Bed!
