Bandits ambush oThers on The road. They get wealth, but They stay in one place. Lovers keep moving, never The same, not for a second! What makes oThers grieve, They enjoy! When They look angry, don't believe Their faces. It's spring lightning, a joke before The rain. They chew thorns thoughtfully along with pasture grass. Gazelle and lioness, having dinner. Love is invisible except here, in us. Sometimes I praise love; sometimes love praises me. Love, a little shell somewhere on The ocean floor, opens its mouth. You and I and we, those imaginary beings, enter that shell as a single sip of seawater. Texts by Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks © 1995 Coleman Barks. Used by permission.
