Doing as others told me, I was Blind. Coming when others called me, I was Lost. Then I left everyone, myself as well. Then I found Everyone, Myself as well.

If God said, 'Rumi pay homage to everything that has helped you enter my arms,' there would not be one experience of my life, not one thought, not one feeling, nor any act, I would not bow to.

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, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.

You have forgotten the One who doesn't care about ownership, who doesn't try to turn a profit from every human exchange.

Last night I learned how to be a lover of God. To live in this world and call nothing my own.

When soul rises Into lips You feel the kiss You have wanted

Your light is more magnificent than sunrise or sunset
