on reading rumi
I see I'm both servant and master
a gift of the heart
and in its euphoric song
singing the joy that is life
I can love you like Rumi did to Sham,
but, I'm very bad at setting examples
- I cannot marry you my daughter to keep you close to me..................................
Rumi can seem Love loony
his verses make us rosy bloomin’
we cannot be fuming, our crown feathers pluming
when swirling to his songs, swooning
"...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.

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.
Your heart is the frail vessel
containing the power of the winds.
It carries you, wholesomely,
in tiny pieces of crystal
through the liquid night.
Let your spirit be still,
amid the throbs of pain
sculpting deeper chambers in your heart.
God's Love runs deep.
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
Anger is rarely locked inside me.
It gurgles from me like a stream,
not breaking like waves on shores.
But if I stay silent,
wearing displeasure
on my face, an
ocean roars
inside
me.
“When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside” - Rumi
Written 12/1/2015 for the Contest of Silent One
To paraphrase the greatest of masters -
You may cast a stone
if you have no sin.
And if you say you have no sin?
Thus you have no need of healing.

"If you desire healing,
let yourself fall ill
let yourself fall ill."
- Jalaluddin Rumi
Reflecting on the
birds which fly overhead
Rumi created "Birdsong"
In the silence of spring
Avian music charms us
Do you not know
what awaits you
at the end of the journey?
You do know!
Yes,you do know
So enjoy natural delights
Feel the spring wind
Listen to the birdsong
as it creates a picture in sound
Watch the birds float
on the wind
I can’t turn back and look at the past
My journey into solitude started all too soon
Harsh words were spoken
And then silence …
All you needed to do was look at my eyes
Eyes are the windows to my soul
But you were just too blind to see
The real me

I’m
seething.
My silence
masks my feelings
PLEASE leave me alone.
I’m like a volcano
waiting for the eruption -
don’t push me, don’t force the issue,
you can’t see into my heart or mind.
Just give me space to come back down to earth
‘When I am silent I have thunder hidden inside’ Rumi

My Response to Rumi
If you desire sleep
Stay awake, stay awake
If you desire happiness
Be sad, very sad
If you desire peace
Make war, make war
I you desire love
Don’t wish for it, don’t wish for it
The essence is look at the lighter side of life

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,
that you provide....
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 stirs in U all U took on earth for living bread
I am I
And
I am you,
You and I
Are the same;
I am you whom I love,
And you whom I love is I.
And you and I love us both--
We are never apart.

Quote: Goodbyes are only for those who
love with their eyes, Because for those who
love with heart and soul there is no such
thing as separation. ~Rumi

"My Response to Rumi"
Rumi, Having fallen ill
body and mind together,
painful creaking bones
and misplaced feelings
tormented.
Thoughts have wildly
danced across synapses.
Dreams remembered
yesterdays and God.
Awakening and healing.

RESPONDING TO THE FOLLOWING:
"If you desire healing,
let yourself fall ill
let yourself fall ill."
- Jalaluddin Rumi
not through the tongue and its wind-spray
or the booming chest
but through broken wings
whispers of ruined things
crushed
into a wordless tongue
here is a sparrow corpse
this is his poetry
catacombs of grubs
a wing bent stiffly up
the other
pounded into utterance
spirit riddled by flesh
blown through
a blare of broken lungs
not salted
on the suds of speech
but in the ruined breath
of a shattered prayer
You walked through the doors of the ancient temple
The large metal doors with the silhouette of nude cherubs engraved on them
A dagger in your heart
A smile on your face
Arms stretched from sides
Asking me for an embrace
Lights gushing through your wounds
No sign of blood
In my dream you were alive
Coming back to me through those blue metal doors

"The wound is the place where the light enters you."
"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 deep inside, where you only can go.
--QUOTE me RUMI--
Pains
grief
they shake
a man's stance
but by lights of love
sense and wisdom shall flower bright.
In love's eyes wounds and scars are never a disaster;
they are all the colorful curvaceous petals highlighting your everlasting grace.

***The wound is the place where the light enters you...

You strike me down, though I am innocent,
And spent no time giving you reasons.
If my skin offends you, it's your soul's content.
It's buried in the environment of your seasons.
I'll bow my head, seek your forgiveness,
And accept the wounds, where you pierced my heart.
I'll gather them in and never dispossess,
As I gain knowledge from the darkness they impart.
The wound is the place where light enters you..Rumi

Think and listen to my heart
Hear sonorous thunder deep in my heart
Wanted to scream but too mute to shout
Got a loud thunder screaming inside
Everyone notices and they start to be silent
As they see my eyes are all fire burning
So they exactly get what I’m trying to say
Don’t let my inner storm goes outrage!
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 of pious speech
but in the ruined breath
of sky shattering prayers
Separation and pain of separation
Happens to those
Who love with their eyes only
For love is not the unison of mere two bodies
Love is but unison of two souls
And men and women
Who love with their heart and soul
Never complain about pain and separation
For them the lover is always within them.
Quote of Rumi -:
Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.
