On a day when the wind is perfect....BY Rumi

On a day
when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open
and the world is full of beauty.
Today is such a
day.

My eyes are like the sun
that makes promises;
the promise of life
that it always
keeps
each morning.

The living heart gives to us
as does that luminous sphere,
both caress the earth with great
tenderness.

This is a breeze that can enter the soul.
This love I know plays a drum.
Arms move around me;
who can contain their self
before my beauty?

Peace is wonderful,
but ecstatic dance is more fun,
and less narcissistic;
gregarious He makes our lips.

On a day when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open
and the love starts.
Today is such
a day.
