Are you jealous of
the ocean's generosity
? Why would you refuse to give this joy to anyone? Fish don't hold this sacred liquid in cups! They swim the huge fluid freedom. Rumi ------------------------------------- Drumsound rises on the air, its throb, my heart. A voice inside the beat says, "I know you're tired, but come. This is the way." Rumi |
If I were Earth Each tear that fell from the crushed moons of your face, stabbed me, broke and split into a thousand pains. But I held out my arms, and not one did I miss, no, not one did I miss, no not one pain. And if I don't let you soak into me and bring me up, if I don't let you seep deep into me and teach me, then you can cry in the morning to the sun, and tell him to rise up and burn me away.
