Rumi





I can break off from anyone,
except that presence within.

Anyone can bring gifts.
Give me someone who takes away.



Noah’s ark is the symbol of our species,
a boat wandering the ocean.

A plant grows deep in the center of that water.
It has no form and no location.



What is this day with two suns in the sky?
Day unlike other days,
with a great voice giving it to the planet,
Here it is, enamored beings, your day!



Glass of wine in hand, I fall,
get on my feet again, dizzy, deranged,
then sink down demolished,
not in this place any longer,
yet here, strong and sober, still standing.
