Sometimes we are lucky enough to discover a poem at a time it speaks for us. This is one of those times. . .I found a poem written by Rumi -- it inspired me and partially spoke my feelings, but not precisely. I borrowed some of his words, added some, and deleted some. This is the result.
Some Kiss We Want
There is some kiss we want
with our whole lives
The touch of spirit on the body
The pearl begs seawater
to break its shell
And the orchid, how passionately
it needs light and air
At night I open the window
And ask the moon to press
her face against mine
Breathe into me
I breathe in spirit
breathe out love
in an endless shimmering, magical circle
Close the language door
And open the love window
The moon won't use the door
Spirit won't either
Only the window.
yes.
