Even if they're a crowd of sorrows
Who violently sweep your house
Empty of its furniture
Meet them at the door laughing
He may be clearing you out
Metaphor
Welcome and entertain them all!
The Guest House
Jelaluddin Rumi
Because each has been sent
Still treat each guest honorably
The dark thought, the shame, the malice
Some momentary awareness comes
Rhyme
A joy, a depression, a meanness
Be grateful for whoever comes
Simile
As a guide from beyond
This being human is a guest house
For some delight
And invite them in
As an unexpected visitor
Every morning is a new arrival
