To be kind to you
is my greatest joy

To be kind to you
is my greatest joy

This is amazing!
I am finally Home.
All the more amazing: I never was not.
Is it time wasted, when I think otherwise?
Or does it help me see every part of my life in a most wondrous light?

Please don’t ask me how this planet works

Still not an awkward moment between us.

To lose what I love
is not possible

Being naked
in front of you.
No defense.
Tired, angry, grumpy
in front of you.
No defense.
To die, die, die
in front of you.
That’s my job.

Dropped a pebble on the bottomless bucket
What joy!

Let the lovers be disgraceful, crazy,
absentminded. Someone sober
will worry about things going badly.
Let the lovers be.
Rumi-Translated by Coleman Barks

You remind me
Of everything I like about myself

She “said” yes
She said “maybe”
“She” said no
And not an awkward moment between us
