Contest / IPC only - be inspired by Rumi
This contest is open only to current or former members of IPC. All other entries will be removed without commentary***
Dear club,
Please write something inspired by Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi's poem below.
In love
In love, aside from sipping the wine of timelessness,
nothing else exists.
There is no reason for living except for giving one's life.
I said, "First I know you, then I die."
He said, "For the one who knows Me, there is no dying."

Dear club,
After much deliberation, the judges decided on the final eight. It is always so hard to judge these, because all the poems are medal-worthy.
Thank you for writing, dear friends. Your words are a treat for my eyes.
