inside of you

You are a volume in the divine book.
A mirror to the power that created the universe.
Whatever you want, ask it of yourself.
Whatever you’re looking for can only
be found inside of you.

- Rumi

blossom

If the foot of the trees were not tied to earth,
they would be pursuing me...
For I have blossomed so much,
I am the envy of the gardens.

- Rumi

Beauty and Love ...

Beauty and Love are as body and soul.
Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.
They have together
since the beginning of time-
Side by side, step by step.

- Rumi

Love ...

Don't ask anyone about love!
Ask love about love.
Love is a cloud that scatters pearly.

- Rumi

I nourish a seed named love

by flying...

I have been tricked by flying too close
to what I thought I loved.

Now the candleflame is out, the wine spilled,
and the lovers have withdrawn
somewhere beyond my squinting.

The amount I thought I'd won, I've lost.
My prayers becomes bitter and all about blindness.

How wonderful it was to be for a while
with those who surrender.

Others only turn their faces on way,
then another, like pigeon in flight.
I have known pigeons who fly in a nowhere,
and birds that eat grainlessness,

and tailor who sew beautiful clothes
by tearing them to pieces.

~ Rumi

You ask me...

You ask me who are you and
with such a shaky existence
how can you fall in love...

How do I know
who am I or where I am
how could a simple wave
locate itself in an ocean

You ask me what am I seeking
above and beyond
the pure light that I once was

And why am I
imprisoned in this cage
named body and
yet I claim to be a free bird

How do I know
how I lost my way
I know for sure
I was all straight
before I was
seduced by love .

~ Rumi ♥

I do not say it...

I tell everything, but I do not say it,
because, my Friend, it is better
your secret be spoken by you.

~ Rumi

'Soul moon'

I worship the moon.
Tell me of the soft glow of a
candle light...
and the sweetness of my moon.

Don't talk about sorrow,
tell me of that treasure,
hidden if it is to you,
then just remain silent.

Last night
I lost my grip on reality
and welcomed insanity.
Love
saw me and said,
I showed up.
Wipe you tears
and be silent.

I said, O Love
I am frightened,
but it's not you.
Love said to me,
there is nothing that is not me.
be silent.

I will whisper secrets in your ear
just nod yes
and be silent.

Become the Sky

Inside this new love... die
Your way begins on the other side
Become the sky ...

Take an axe to the prison wall
Escape
Do it now
Walk out like someone suddenly born into color
Do it now

You're covered with thick cloud
Slide out the side
Die... and be quiet

Quietness is the surest sign that you've died
You're old life was a frantic running from silence

The speechless full moon comes out now

~ RUMI
