There is a pain — so utter —

There is a pain — so utter -
It swallows substance up -
Then covers the Abyss with Trance -
So Memory can step
Around — across — upon it -
As one within a Swoon -
Goes safely — where an open eye -
Would drop Him — Bone by Bone.

Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi...

Late, by Myself

Late, by myself, in the boat of myself,
no light and no land anywhere,
cloudcover thick. I try to stay
just above the surface,
yet I'm already under
and living within the ocean.

•

Be melting snow.
Wash yourself of yourself.

•

Let yourself be silently drawn
by the stronger pull of what you really love.

•

Birdsong

Birdsong brings relief
to my longing
I'm just as ecstatic as they are,
but with nothing to say!
Please universal soul, practice
some song or something through me!

—Rumi
