Rumi turning ecstatic

Rumi turning ecstatic

I saw in your eyes

The revelation of a thousand songs

Fireflies have martyred themselves

Into the night where you belong

Why this fast that reveals nothing

Sip from the tavern and read

The eyes are the window to the soul

I saw innermost self on fire

When you crawl around this modernity

You kill the wings every human was born with

Because the lion lives with lambs

The courage to face adversity

Was loss long before the roar was learnt

Sip slowly from the spring of inner peace

The knowledge you gain by silence

Outweighs the scholars ink and keys

I know your time is spent on smart phones

Your strokes are recorded for impunity

Yet like Rumi was lost in Shams Tabrezi enrapture

He wrote nothing yet his heart memorized each wisdom

This night is too long

The love has gone wrong

Why would Divine love find carnal expression?

What makes a European wed a Trinidadian

What gives color to the rainbow colors

This fascination with life is cheap

By death we learn to live yet we run

I know your days are like jewels in a glass

The Kohinoor was taken and placed on her Royal Highness

Yet the head now has tea with the slave child

Let the dreams of imagination run wild

Only in the dug up ground could wildflowers grow

Only when your pain is embraced will you see

Creator is another name for Om and Allah

The universe is just a spot in the galaxies of His creation

Yet you strut about as if you will preside forever

Even Pharaoh and Hitler didn't escape the angel of destruction

What sweetness you emit from these wicked stares

That fragrance the mountains of Kush couldn't bear

Nowadays the Abraham of yesterday is born weak

I see fathers and mothers make children who will cross barriers

This time of unease is the souls stirring

The name I call on has no language

The thrust of the Niagara is so powerful

Yet a man walks over like a child on bicycle

The contortionist swings through the taut rope like a butterfly

I think with these prayers you will find nirvana still

Cause your search is more important than your findings!
