I am the Spirit Moon....by Rumi

I am the Spirit Moon
with no place.
You do not see me for I am hidden
inside the soul.

Others want you for themselves but I call you
back to yourself.
You give me many names but I am
beyond all names.

Sometimes you say I am deceitful
but as long as you are
I will be too.

Until you remain blind and deaf
I will be invisible.
I am the garden of all gardens
I speak as the King of all flowers

I am the spring of all waters.
My words are like a ship and the sea
is their meaning.

Come to me and I will take you
to the depths of spirit.

~ Rumi
