DAILY GRATITUDE RUMI AND SINGING BIRDS

Today I’m grateful for the poet Rumi’s understanding of singing birds
from the largest raven…to the smallest bobolink…

I want to sing like the birds sing…he said
Never worrying about who is hearing me
or worrying about what they think.

This Persian Candy

Far from the homeland, when lips part to speak,
This Persian candy works wonders, magic unique.
The spell of Rumi’s verse, of Hafez’ deep art,
In distant lands, it uplifts every heart.

A potion of love rides this caravan’s crest—
Saadi himself boasts of its charm manifest.
Open your eyes, and at this threshold stay—
The Masnavi begins to tell your tale

Mirror

"As you live deep in the heart, the mirror gets clearer and cleaner".- quote by Rumi


Majestic and a clean heart when it was born.
Immense sponge absorbing the best and the worst of life,
Risking purity to abandon its principles.
Reconsider about cleaning where your heart reflects.
Offer yourself the best image
for the others to look at.
Reset mistakes diving

Rumi and Faith Mixed

 

"#3, Rumi quote: Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do."


What I love is my perfect life,
Falling to my knees at life's strife:
And I seek beauty when alone:
O, God is my foundation stone.

I sketch till hands are pencil stained,
And write till my hands are ink veined:
I love to explore the unknown:
O,

Rumi Thoughts  

When I say the word You, I mean a hundred universes
By:  Rumi 

Dipping inside the ocean of your many silences,
I find bits and pieces of the you, you truly are; 
There are so many reflections in this house of mirrors, 
but I can only catch a glimpse 
of the real you,

The Tree of Awe, Jalal Ad-Din Rumi

How does part of the world leave the world, how can wetness leave water  
don't try to put out a fire by throwing on more fire, don't wash a wound with blood 
No matter how fast you run, your shadow  more than keeps up, sometimes its in front 
Only full overhead sun diminishes

Rumi

They say I shouldn't rhyme but this is how I shine,

That part of me divine is always speaking through my rhymes,

Teaching I'm inclined if it's truth you choose to find,

You have to find yourself or else you might just lose your mind,

I'm more than what you see so I use words to paint a picture,

Rumi Nuff for Us

Drizzling passes by filters a rainbow,
its aqua burst nigh as simple dews grow,
filters a rainbow, drizzling passes by
as simple dews grow, its aqua burst nigh.

Tattles chartreuse fronds of its bless descent,
splash in hidden ponds faces smile advent,
of its bless descent, tattles chartreuse fronds,
faces smile advent, splash in

Say It Like Rumi

"From deep within my heart,
I always catch the scent of my Beloved. 
How can I help but follow that fragrance?"  ~ Rumi

Bliss pheromones radiate from our glowing heart

Rumi, My Roomie

I stared at the wall, it stared back at me.
I was so lonesome longed for a roomie.

And as I despaired, with feelings of dread,
I heard a low moan at foot of my bed.

Wonder of wonders, beheld there a cow,
Afraid was I with sweat wetting my brow.

Quietly stared at the ruminant breed
Chewing cud of regurgitated feed.

Large

Translating Rumi

not through the tongue and its wind-spray
or the booming chest

but a soul moved by broken wings,
the whispers of ruined things
crushed by a cosmic tongue

here is a sparrow corpse
this is his poetry
catacombs of grubs
a wing bent stiffly up
the other
pounded into utterance

Rumi's spirit is riddled by flesh
it is blown through
the blare of broken lungs
not salted
on the suds

When

I
When you have used up nerve, muscle, sinew
To be all you dreamed for others and for you
Then the soul alone can make you move at all
That is how U write like Rumi, Emily, Hawthorne

II
When death and evil seem greater than good
When darkness seems omnipresent, not God
Then Scripture within extracts - in pain - a Word
That

A Disagreement With Rumi

"...if you are too careful love will not find you." ~Rumi

If you are not careful
Love will find you,

Like fire finds a tinder.

Poetic At Heart

Poetry came to my mind
A little late on hindsight
Yet it’s beauty of its own
Stop judging and believe you can own
Yes poetics are romantics
They elucidate the unfathomable
They create the unbelievable
Rumi was a poet
And so was Tagore
I hope to be my own
With wings I adore

Walking With Rumi

WALKING WITH RUMI

It’s a religious routine, his impious
use of scripture and prayer calling on god
for salvation and sustenance, purity of heart,
perhaps a way better job, or some actual proof
that his people still matter
His, is a god who uses archangels, heavily-armed
toughs, assassins and avengers, roaming the streets
of a gray paradise (neither heaven nor hell), their
big wings
