That silent answer you feel from head to toe. ~ Rumi

These sayings of mine
are really a call to God,

words to lure
the breath of that sweet One.

How can you be silent?
How can you fail to call,

knowing He always answers,
"Here I am—"

that silent answer
you feel from head to toe.

~ Rumi
-- Mathnawi II:1189-1191
