Can't S.L.E.E.P.

When I was with you, we stayed up all night

When you're not here, I can't get to s.l.e.e.p

Praise God for these two insomnia(s)!

And the differences between them.

Mirror

You have no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You...
Nothing seemed right...
What's the point of bringing gold to gold mine?
Or water to the ocean?

Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient
It's no good giving my heart and my soul, because you already have these
So, I brought you a mirror
Look at yourself and remember me...


R.U.M.I.

Come As You Are, Come!

"Come, come again, whoever you are, come!
Heathen, fire worshipper or idolatrous, come!
Come even if you broke your penitence a hundred times,
Ours is a portal of hope, come as you are!"

"Come, whoever you are!

Wanderer, worshipper , lover of leaving, come!

Ours is not a caravan despair,

It doesn't matter if you've broken your vow a thousand times, still come,

And yet again, come!"

If You Can't Go To S.l.e.e.p.

To all Lost Souls
Wake up world!

Let's be friend
To our souls again

You cannot look at the sun
Before seeing the darkness

If you cannot go to s.l.e.e.p.
My dear soul
What do you think will happen?

If you pass your night
And merge it with dawn for the sake of heart
What do you think will happen?

If the entire world is covered with the blossoms
You have labored to plan
What do you think will happen?

If because of your generosity & love
A few humans find their lives
What do you think will happen?

If you pour an entire jar
Filled with joyous wine
On the head of those already drunk
What do you think will happen?

Go my friend bestow your love
Even on your enemies if you touch their heart
What do you think will happen?

"To all the humans' soul : Let's be friend to our soul again"

Don't Go Back To S.l.e.e.p.

The breeze at dawn has a secret to tell you
Don't go back to s.l.e.e.p.

You  must ask for what you really want
Don't go back to s.l.e.e.p.

The door is open
"Let the beauty we love be what we do"
Don't go back to s.l.e.e.p.

Keep Walking

... Though there's no
place to get to


Don't try to see
through the
distances


That's not


for human beings


Move within
But do not move
the way


F.E.A.R.
....... make you move

Out Beyond Ideas... There Is A Field...

Out beyond ideas
of wrongdoing & rightdoing
there is a field

I'll meet you there
When the soul lies down in that grass

The world is too full
to talk about.

Ideas, language,
even the phrase each other
doesn't make any sense

Jalal- ad-Deen

Muhammad Rumi

Only the soul

knows

what love is
