Rumi: Close the Language-Door
Close the Language-Door There is some kiss we want with our whole lives, the touch of Spirit on the body. Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell. And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild Darling! At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door, and open the love-window The moon won't use the door, only the window. ~From: "Like This" Versions by Coleman Barks Sign in to see full entry.
