Our Death
Is Our Wedding
With Eternity
-Rumi
A guide has entered this life
in silence.
His message is only heard
in silence.
Take a sip of his precious wine
And lose yourself.
Don’t insult the greatness of his love,
For he helps all those who suffer,
in silence.
Polish the mirror between the breaths.
Go with him, beyond words.
He knows your every deed.
He is the one
who moves the wheel of heaven,
in silence.
Every thought is buried in your heart;
He will reveal them one by one,
in silence.
Turn each of your thoughts into a bird
And let them fly to the other world.
One is an owl, one is a falcon, one is a crow.
Each one is different from the others
But they are all the same
in silence.
To see the Moon that cannot be seen
Turn your eyes inward
and look at yourself,
in silence.
In this world and the next,
Don’t talk about this and that;
Let him show you everything,
shining as one . . . in silence.

The Quran
Surah Al-An'am
The Cattle
Verse 103
No vision can
encompass Him,
but He encompasses
all vision. He is the
Most Subtle,
the All Aware.
A Secret Turning In Us
Makes The Heavens Turn
Head Unaware of Feet
Feet Unaware of Head
Neither One Cares
They Keep Turning
