1. “Rumi”
   Those who don’t feel this Love
   pulling them like a river,
   those who don’t drink dawn
   like a cup of spring water
   or take in sunset like supper,
   those who don’t want to change,
   
   let them sleep.
   
   This Love is beyond the study of theology
   that old tricker and hypocrisy.
   If you want to improve your mind that way,
   
   sleep on.
   
   I’ve given up on my brain.
   I’ve torn the cloth to shreds
   and thrown it away.
   If you’re not completely naked,
   wrap your beautiful robe of words
   around you,
   
   and sleep.
   
2. “Bawa Muhaiyaddeen”
   I hold you in my heart.
   I rock and sing you to sleep.
   You are everywhere in everyone,
   the holy baby in all of us,
   that plays there.
   
   The beautiful one,
   born when we love,
   the glowing child.
   
   You are the meaning that blooms in the heart.
