Rumi by way of Dr Seuss
“Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you” — Rumi

“Only the lonely” the radio sings
to my heart inside with its variable wings
that fly through the cosmos inside and out
giving universal oneness an outright shout
for I am you and you are me and we be
together illusion rounded about
rich in collusion and agreed upon see
each with our input, each with our clout
we’re all many ones combined into swarm
merely collapsed Heisengergian wave form
so do not feel lonely, as Rumi says
our out is within, a morality play
we are not only this speck trapped in time
but many an any wrapped Rumi rhyme

— Smith, 9.7.2012

I don’t normally do homework poems (poem themes assigned by others) but Eva Xanthopoulos issued a FaceBook challenge at Poehemian Poetry Contest asking for a poem inspired by Rumi’s line “Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you,” so here I be with my 5-minute pome lite.
