Come out here where the roses have opened. Let soul and world meet. – Rumi

The way the night knows itself with the moon, be that way with me. Or, alternately translated, Union is a raging river running toward the sea. Tonight the moon kisses the stars. O beloved, be like that to me. – Rumi

Lightning, your presence from ground to sky, no one knows what becomes of me, when you take me so quickly. – Rumi

…my heart sinks like a comb into wave after wave of your silky hair. – Rumi
