An unexpected poem...

Today I received a poem in the mail... I have never received a poem in the mail before and appreciated it beyond belief. Thanks for so much.

There is nothing cooler in Bahrain
Than rug therapy to refrain
From humanity’s unwitting pain
At midnight so complete and tame
Not a sound around me bar soft sand
Sweeping elegantly across the land

And then I hear an ancient sound so calm
I pay heed to it devoid of qualm
A welcome guest more like a psalm
Mild melodies plucked gently
From acoustic guitars
Drifting my heart afar

The shisha is potent
The moon is full, humidity low
Captivating visions slow
The star reveals heavens in full force
Carpet sitting, a complete recourse
Night times chosen thinking space
A woven legacy from an ancient place.
