Poems and Thoughts    by Frank Maurer

What all Life could be. Finely chopped parsley Sprinkled over the face Of pudding-like rice soup. How soft and smooth is its texture, Slipping over the tongue, Hot, And taken down with a gentle swallow. Laughing here and there, Chatting now and then, Longing up and down. If life could be So soft and gentle soup. Frank Maurer 5 September 2019              (Inspired by Rumi)
