- “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. - “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.
