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