~ THE WAVE OF BESTOWAL ~

by Jalalludin Rumi

The Human Being, like a bird of the sea

Emerged from the ocean of the soul.

Earth is not a final place of rest

For a bird born from the sea.

No, we are pearls of that ocean;

All of us live in it;

And if it weren't so, why would wave upon wave arrive?

This is the time of union, the time of eternal beauty.

It is the ocean of purity.

The wave of bestowal has come.

The roar of the sea is here.

The morning of happiness has dawned.
