Half Hearted Isn't Enough

Today I "happened upon" this marvellous poem:

Half-Hearted Isn't Enough
My heart
isn't in the mood
for
mediocrity
half-hearted
isn't enough
I have never seen
a half-hearted bird
or
a mediocre mountain
all
the clouds and stars
I have ever seen
have given it
their all
I am the only one
who
has been
holding back
until
now

(It was in the Te Moata retreat centre newsletter: http://www.temoata.org )  

I looked up more of Suni's poems on her website and may well buy the whole book. I love the poetry of Rumi and Hafiz and Suni's poems have the same ring to them.
