Love is the soul's light....by Rumi

Being closer and closer
is the desire of the body.
Don't wish for union!

There's a closeness beyond that.
Why would God want a second God ?

Fall in love in such a way
that it frees you from any connecting.

Love is the soul's light,
the taste of morning,
no me, no we,
no claim of being.

These words are the smoke
the fire gives off
as it absolves its defects,
as eyes in silence, tears, face.
Love cannot be said.

~ Rumi
