Ode to the Rumi I want to know



Pass through closed doors,

the forest is in the trees.

From within the woods

find the sheltering clearing

surrounding you in a dance.



Expose yourself, bare yourself, free yourself.

Only from standing upon

the broadest meadows

and highest passes

will the mountains come to you.



You may try to double back

to retrace a path,

see what remains.

But the rocks and logs and streams

will be transformed anew for you.



Stretch and open wider

than your physical form

knows how to do.

Catch what you cannot see…. envisioning.

A fish won’t bite the fly when it is looking at you!
