Gently, gently open your eyes and look at the face of Love...by Rumi

Gently, gently open your eyes
and look at the face of Love,
look at her intoxicating eyes!

Her smile has lured thousands of hearts
into her infinite garden.

Come and let your lips taste the sweetness of her fruit.
You will become drunk on the scent of her roses
and dance like a willow swaying in the wind.

Turn your eyes from the world’s hunger for pleasure
there is a deeper fulfilment in the infinite mystery of Love.

~ Rumi
