In your light, I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you.

Sensitivity
Sensitivity

There’s no dawn without a night,
there’s no victory without a fight,
there’s no rainbow without the rain,
there’s no happiness without pain!

The Path
The Path

When love beckons to you,
follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold,
you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden
among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you,
believe in him,
Though his voice,
may shatter your dreams
as the north wind,
lays waste the garden.
Khalil Gibran

My Faithful Lover
My Faithful Lover
The moon came to me last night
With a sweet question.
She said,
“The sun has been my faithful lover
For millions of years.
Whenever I offer my body to him
Brilliant light pours from his heart.
Thousands then notice my happiness
And delight in pointing
Toward my beauty.
Hafiz,
Is it true that our destiny
Is to turn into Light
Itself?”
And I replied,
Dear moon,
Now that your love is maturing,
We need to sit together
Close like this more often
So I might instruct you
How to become
Who you
Are!
Hafiz
Thing Called Love
Thing Called Love
I’ve been looking for a long, long time,
for this thing called love,
I’ve ridden comets across the sky,
and I’ve looked below and above.
Then one day I looked inside myself,
and this is what I found,
A golden sun residing there,
beaming forth Allah’s (God’s) light and sound.
Maulana Jalaludin Rumi

The Roses Are In Bloom
The Roses Are In Bloom
Come, come,
The roses are in bloom!
Come, come,
The Beloved has arrived!
Now is the time to unite
the soul and the world.
Now is the time to see the sunlight
dancing as one with the shadows.
Laugh at those faithless men
who boast with loud voices.
Weep for that friend
who has turned away from the Friend.
The whole city is trembling with fear now
that the madman has broken from his chains.
What a day! What a day!
A day of upheaval! A day of revolt!
Perhaps the scroll
that records every deed is falling from the sky!
Beat the drum,
Speak no more–
The heart has gone,
The mind has gone,
The soul,
too,
has gone to the
Beloved.
The seeds of
His love blossom in every heart.
The sounds of
His flute fill every celebration.
Everyone thinks that he sings and dances
But no—
He is the only one singing,
He is the only one dancing.
We drink the wine of our own blood,
aged in the barrels of our soul.
We would give our lives for a sip of that nectar,
Our heads in exchange for one drop.
Maulana Jalaludin Rumi
