A beggar smiled at me and offered me alms In a dream last night, my heart sprang with delight. His beauty and grace which shone from his tattered Presence took me by storm until I woke at dawn. His poverty was riches, it covered my body in silk. In that dream I heard the beckoning sighs of lovers, I heard soft cries of agonized joy saying: “Take this, Dring and be complete!” I saw before me a ring Jewelled in poverty and then it nested on my ear. From the root of my surging soul a hundred tremors Rose as I was taken and pinned down by the surging sea. Then heaven groaned with bliss and made a beggar of me. Divan 2015 |

The Lovers will drink wine night and day.They will drink until they can tear away the veils of intellect and melt away the layers of shame and modesty. When in L O V E, body, mind, heart and soul Don't even exist. Become this, fall in Love, and you will not be separated again. Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi
Tonight I am not here. Don’t look for me tonight for I have departed from this world and gone into the arms of my Beloved. My soul lives only where he exists. I have dissolved into him and there is no more of ‘me’ left; I am Him. All that remains is my body. My heart and my soul are far away from this place you call the Universe … Don’t look for me tonight. Tonight I don’t exist. Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi
