Full moonrise from Huguenot Memorial Bridge, James River - Henrico
"You came, Beloved, awoke me
from my sleep and vanished.
In my heart you rose as the moon
yet as I glanced at you, you disappeared.
Having had a glimpse of your garden
I no longer have patience to endure my existence.
One sip of your intoxicating wine
has left me homesick with longing.
On the path of love, many are the highs and lows;
many unions and separations.
Oh, how endless seems the journey
to that wondrous place where my passion draws me."
- Rumi (13th Century Sufi mystic/poet)
