The Breeze at Dawn


The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
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.

  1. "where the two worlds touch.
    The door is round and open."

    those 2 lines are indescribably beautiful to me, as some sort of gateway to God is how they feel to me

  2. something about sunrise seems to resonate, as "more range" also made reference to sunrise

At the request of a Rumi Reader, I have enabled comments, because I agree that someone, sometime might want to write about the power of Rumi's words. So many times they have met me in ways I just have to share, and so I want you to have that opportunity here. There is no expectation for comments, but please do write something if you feel the urge. ~ Ruth
