* I awoke to greet, My last dawn in Venice. As the canals began to glow With the fading of the last star. I watched the boats Begin their daily business, Saw flights of Venetian birds, That refused to leave this city, To fly south, to sunnier parts. And I thanked the Source, For this moment, written By every blessing I’d received, And every trial I’d endured, That had led me this far. And I knew I would return, To this place that now owned, My heart. • • #sufisoulpoetry #forvenice #farewellfornow #illbebackagain #poetsofinstagram
