Poem for Ash Wednesday

Come, Come Whoever You Are
by Sufi poet Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi (circa 1200 CE)

Come, come, whoever you are,
Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow
a thousand times
Come, yet again, come, come.
