I was going to tell you my story
but waves of pain drowned my voice.
I tried to utter a word but my thoughts
became fragile and shattered like glass.
Even the largest ship can capsize
in the stormy sea of love,
let alone my feeble boat
which shattered to pieces leaving me nothing
but a strip of wood to hold on to.
Small and helpless, rising to heaven
on one wave of love and falling with the next
I don't even know if I am or I am not.
When I think I am, I find myself worthless,
when I think I am not, I find my value.
Like my thoughts, I die and rise again each day
so how can I doubt the resurrection?
Tired of hunting for love in this world,
at last I surrender in the valley of love
and become free.
Rumi

There is a path
from me to you
that I am
constantly looking for,
so I try
to keep clear and still
as water does
with the moon..!

Rumi

You are the essence of essence.
Be sure of what you look for.
It is you. It is in you.
Rumi

You light the fire of love
in earth and sky
in heart and soul
of every being.
Through your love
merge existence and nonexistence.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane
becomes sacred again.
Rumi

O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now,
Be all – worlds dissolve into your
stainless endless radiance,
Frail living leaves burn with your brighter
than cold stares –
Make me your servant, your breath, your core.

Rumi

Do you know what you are ?
You are a manuscript of a divine letter
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face
This universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself
everything that you want
you are already that.
Rumi

We are the fingertips of blind illusion,
You are the absolute Cause of causes.
You sing us into being, quick-fading echoes.
We're like heraldic lions on folded flags,
One breath from you and we are unfurled
For a fluttering moment on your dancing breath.
Rumi 

The songs we sing are like foam on the surface of the sea
of being, while the precious gems lie deep beneath.
But the tenderness in our songs
is a reflection of what is hidden in the depths.
Rumi

Sorry this post is a little late.  My electricity has been out for 24 hours courtesy of a particularly nasty electrical storm.  Happily all is back to normal now. :o)
