Someone Else's Words Wednesday: Because sometimes it's good to be quiet

There is some kiss we want

with our whole lives,

the touch of Spirit on the body.

Seawater begs the pearl

to break its shell.

And the lily, how passionately

it needs some wild Darling!

At night, I open the window

and ask the moon to come

and press its face against mine.

Breathe into me.

Close the language-door,

and open the love-window

The moon won't use the door,

only the window.

~Rumi

With thanks to one of my kindred spirits, Kim, for reminding me of this one at the precise moment it was time to read it again.
