This is how it always is when I finish a poem. A great silence overcomes me and I wonder why I ever thought to use language.

More quotes by Rumi
Dance when you're perfectly free.
Rumi
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
Rumi
Beyond what we wish and what we fear may happen we have another life, as clear and free as a mountain stream.
Rumi
Don't allow your animal nature to rule your reason.
Rumi
How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.
Rumi
He has afflicted you from every direction in order to pull you back to the directionless.
Rumi
if i can only recount the story of my life right out of my body flames will grow
Rumi
Lovers don't meet in the end, they are in each other forever.
Rumi
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
Rumi
Birdsong brings relief to my longing. I am just as ecstatic as they are, but with nothing to say.
Rumi
Whatever you are looking for can only be found inside of you.
Rumi
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
Rumi
Soul receives from soul that knowledge, therefore not by book nor from tongue. If knowledge of mysteries come after emptiness of mind, that is illumination of heart.
Rumi
LOVE and LOVER live in Eternity. Other desires are substitutes for that way of being.
Rumi
I am so close, I may look distant.
Rumi
In the house of lovers, the music never stops, the walls are made of songs & the floor dances
Rumi
Any one in love will have no religion.
Rumi
In this life many demolitions are actually renovations.
Rumi
The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms yet, they testify to invisible love.
Rumi
Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi or zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not of the East, nor of the West.... My place is placeless, a trace of the traceless.
Rumi
