A beautiful reminder that our physical bodies are merely shells,
our souls are eternal.!✿◠.✿◠.✿◠..
We come dancing off the dust...
Wandering around for the winds...
Wishing for what we know not...
✿◠.✿◠.✿◠..
Why does a date-palm lose its leaves in autumn?
Why does every beautiful face grow in old age;
wrinkled like the back of a Libyan lizard?
Why does a full head of hair get bald?
Why is the tall, straight figure that divided the ranks like a
spear now bent almost double?
Why is it that the lion’s strength weakens to nothing?
The wrestler who could hold anyone down is led out with two people
supporting him; their shoulders under his arms!
God answers,
“They put on borrowed robes and pretended they were theirs.
I take the beautiful clothes back, so that you will learn
the robe of appearance is only a loan.”
- Rumi
