Poem: What Would Rumi Say?
What Would Rumi Say
What would Rumi say if he saw me?
Panting like a dog, barking at heaven,
aching to nuzzle my lover’s face.
It’s simple!
Get drunk and climb the nearest mountain.
Howl at the moon.
Pour out your heart like wine into that absolute longing.
Turn in place and skip sleep.
Fly straight into dreaming of your lover’s hand,
warm upon your neck.
