This Longing
-Rumi-
I could not have known what love is
if I had never felt this longing.
if I had never felt this longing.
Anything done to excess becomes boring,
except this overflow that moves
toward You.
except this overflow that moves
toward You.
Out of my Heart a Bird
- Gibran-
Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards.
Higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow.
At first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens.
of my heart a bird flew skywards.
And it waxed larger as it flew.
Yet it left not my heart.
