Silence
“Let me sit here,
on the threshold
of two worlds,
Lost in the eloquence
of silence.”
—Rumi
The Field of Love
“Out beyond ideas
of wrongdoing
and rightdoing,
there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down
in that grass,
the world is too full
to talk about.
Ideas, language,
even the phrase
“each other”
doesn’t make any sense.
The breeze at dawn
has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what
you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going
back and forth
across the doorsill
where the two worlds
touch.
The door is round
and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.”
— Rumi
