Embossed poem based off ‘Community Of The Spirit’ by Rumi:

Drink all your passion

and be a disgrace.

Close both eyes

to see with the other eye.

Open your hands

if you want to be held.

Close your mouth

to taste the lovers mouth in yours.

Flow down and down in always

widening rings of being.

Embossed poem based off Rumi’s work. While it does not match any specific poem from his collection, it encapsulates the spirit of Rumi’s mysticism, particularly his ideas about the soul’s union with the Beloved, the concept of annihilation in the divine presence, and the paradoxical beauty of emptiness and existence:

In the existence of your love I become non existent

this non existence I [l]in[k]ed to you is better than all existence

I saw you and became empty

this e[m]ptiness [,] more beautiful than existence [,] dissolves existence

and yet when I I comes existence thrives

Embossed poem based off ‘Every Time I Open My Eyes’ by Rupert Spira:

Every time I open my eyes I invite the world to take shape and every time the world takes shape I am invited to open my eyes

and see the world raw and naked holding out its hand calling me into itself where I am taken into the transparency of things and find myself transparent there

stand[ing on] the edge looking down and in to the dark silent pool in which the world is cradled and [I am] cradled the[re] held with all things and hold all things in myself

myself not a thing in the world but this here seeing here seeing in which the world opens inviting and offering itself

and every time [it is seen] it dies and in dying holds out is hand again asking to be taken in

and every time I take it in I to[o] die and in dying become this here seeing every time I open my eyes

I every time I open my eyes I invite the world to take shape and every ti[m]e the world takes shape I am invited to open my eyes and see the world raw and naken [naked].
