Notice & Look...by Rumi

Notice 
how each particle moves.

Notice 
how everyone has just arrived here
from a journey.

Notice 
how each wants a different food.

Notice 
how the stars vanish as the sun comes up,
and how all streams stream toward the ocean.

Look 
at the chefs preparing special plates
for everyone, according to what they need.

Look 
at this cup that can hold the Ocean.

Look 
at those who see the Face.

Look 
through Beloved's eyes
into the Water that is
entirely jewels.

~ Rumi 
Ghazal 1910, 
from the Diwan-e Shams
