One Vision

amalgam

Day and night, no difference.
The sun is the moon: An amalgam.
Their gold and silver melt together.

This is the season when
the dead branch and the green branch
are the same branch.

Nightmares fill with light like a holiday.
Humans and angels speak one language.
The elusive ones finally meet.

Good and evil, dead and alive,
everything blooms
from one natural stem.

You know this already, I’ll stop.
Any direction you turn
it’s one vision.

The Agony and Ecstasy of Divine Discontent:
The Moods of Rumi

In the orchard and rose garden
I long to see your face.
In the taste of sweetness
I long to kiss your lips.
In the shadows of passion
I long for your love.

Oh! Supreme lover!
Let me leave aside my worries.
The flowers are blooming
with the exultation of your spirit.

By Allah!
I long to escape the prison of my ego
and lose myself
in the mountains and the desert.

These sad and lonely people tire me.
I long to revel in the drunken frenzy of your love
and feel the strength of Rostam in my hands.

I’m sick of mortal kings.
I long to see your light.
With lamps in hand
the sheiks and mullahs roam
the dark alleys of these towns
not finding what they seek.

You are the essence of the Essence,
The intoxication of love.
I long to sing your praises
but stand mute
with the agony of wishing in my heart.
