Where everything is music

Don’t worry about saving
these songs!
And if one of our instruments
breaks, It doesn’t matter.

We have fallen into the place
where everything is music.

The strumming
and the flute notes rise
into the atmosphere,
and even if the whole world’s
Harp should burn up,
there will still be
hidden instruments playing.

So the candle flickers
and goes out.
We have a piece of flint,
and a spark.

The singing art is sea foam.
the graceful moments come
from a pearl somewhere
on the ocean floor.

Poems reach up
like spindrift
and the edge of driftwood
along the beach, wanting!

They derive from a slow
and powerful root
that we can’t see.

Stop the words now.
Open the window
in the center of your chest,
and let the spirits
fly in and out.

Mevlana Jelalu'ddin Rumi
