" if you can't go to sleep... "

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Boy, you gotta carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you gotta carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitation
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down

Boy, you gotta carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you gotta carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

Oh yeah, all right
Are you going to be in my dreams
Tonight?

....And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make.

* The "Mathnawi" was Rumi's huge didactic work and discourses on metaphysics.
The only intoxication
was one of God's absolute love .

How sad is this that it is the one true soul of Islam/Hinduism/Christianity/Judaism.....
and look what limitations we still place on
the such teachings , today? It is like no-one's listening
or we only learn to mouth the words , but the play is hollow.

Man always seems to have the truth shining in his eyes , looking back thru time he has held it in his hands .... yet it ever~elludes in his present .

Caught on the wheel of time and we as individuals are left to Rumi~nate.....till our own rotation is finished ,then another turn of the wheel , wheels on....

....and this bird has flown.

When you fall asleep....

...you go from the presence of yourself
into your own true presence.

You hear something
and surmise that someone else in your dream
has secretly informed you.

You are not a single "you".
No, you are the sky and the deep sea.

Your mighty "Thou", which is ninehundredfold,
is the ocean, the drowning place
of a hundred "thous"
within you.

~Rumi
