You try to be faithful And sometimes you're cruel. You are mine. Then, you leave. Without you, I can't cope. And when you take the lead, I become your footstep. Your absence leaves a void. Without you, I can't cope. You have disturbed my sleep, You have wrecked my image. You have set me apart. Without you, I can't cope.

Sleep, Faithful, Trying

Love, Spiritual, Sleep

The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep! You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep! People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch, The door is round and open Don't go back to sleep!

Spiritual, Sleep, Doors

Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi, “The Breeze At Dawn”

Spring, Sleep, Winter

Last night you left me and slept your own deep sleep. Tonight you turn and turn. I say, 'You and I will be together till the Universe dissolves.' You mumble back things you thought of when you were drunk.

Rumi (2014). “'Another city'. a selectionf of poems from the Persian”, p.99, Lulu.com

If we come to sleep we are His drowsy ones And if we come to wake we are in His hands If we come to weeping we are His cloud full of raindrops And if we come to laughing we are His lightning in that moment If we come to anger and battle it is the reflection of His wrath And if we come to peace and pardon it is the reflection of His love Who are we in this complicated world?

Sleep, Reflection, Clouds

If your guidance is your ego, don't rely on luck for help. you sleep during the day and the nights are short. By the time you wake up your life may be over.

Sleep, Night, Ego

If you put on shoes that are too tight and walk out across an empty plain, you will not feel the freedom of the place unless you take off your shoes. Your shoe-constriction has you confined. At night before sleeping you take off the tight shoes, and your soul releases into a place it knows. Dreams glide deeper.

Dream, Freedom, Sleep

Those who don't feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep.

Sunset, Sleep, Rivers

Rumi (2014). “'Another city'. a selectionf of poems from the Persian”, p.98, Lulu.com

Daylight, full of small dancing particles and the one great turning, our souls are dancing with you, without feet, they dance. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear? All day and night, music, a quiet, bright reedsong. If it fades, we fade.

Sleep, Night, Feet

You must ask for what you really want. / Don't go back to sleep. / The door is round and open. / Don't go back to sleep.

Sleep, Doors, Want

Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi, “The Breeze At Dawn”

Because I cannot sleep I make music at night.
