Your Heart

Lesson 335: Your Heart

Turn away from me for one moment
My mouth fills and chokes with gall.
Like a dream that flows from heart to heart,
I, too, flow continually through all hearts.
Everything you think, I know;
Your heart is so close to mine.
I have other symbols, even more I intimate,
Come closer still, dare to invoke them.

- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi
