ME IN KONYA THE CITY OF MEVLANA RUMI

THE COMINGS AND GOINGS

I AM HERE NOW
BUT THIS IS NOT ALL
I AM THERE NOW
BUT THIS IS NOT ALL EITHER
FOR I AM THERE NOW BUT OLDER
AND I AM THERE NOW BUT YOUNGER
THERE IS NO PAST TENSE
TO SAY THAT I WAS
AND THERE IS NO FUTURE TENSE
TO SAY THAT I WILL
I AM FOR EVER MOMENT SINCE
AND LIKE WISE
I AM FOR EVER MOMENT HENCE
THE ME BEFORE STILL IS
AND THE ME TO BE THERE IS
FOR I LIVED YESTERDAY
AND I LIVE NOW
THEN WHY CAN'T I YOU SEE
THAT I KIVE IN THE MORROW
IN THE NOW
SOMEWHERE AND SOMEHOW
EACH MOMENT THAT I HAVE EXPIRED
AND EACH MOMENT THAT
IS TO BE EXPIRED
EXISTS AND DOES SO
ETERNALLY INTERNALLY
EXTERNALLY INFINITELY

THESE ARE THE SO CALLED
PARALLEL WORLDS

AND SO FROM THE NOW
OF THE NOW
TO THE NOW OF THE THEN
TO THE KNOW OF THE THE
THERE IS A LINK
WE ARE CONNECTED

AKIN TO A DOMINO PIECE
I CAN FALL BACKWARDS
AND COLLAPSE
ALL THAT IS BEHIND
OR I CAN FALL FORWARD
AND COLLAPSE THAT IS AHEAD
OR
AKIN TO A RAY OF LIGHT
FROM THE NOW OF NOWS
ILLUMINATING THE BYGONERS
WHEN IN RELECTION AND
ILLUMINATING THE BE-COMERS
WHEN IN PROJECTION

EACH BEAT OF HEART
IS ALIVE AND WELL
EACH BEAT OF HEART TO BE
IS ALIVE AND WELL
THE BEFORE HAS ONLY GONE
THE NEXT IS ONLY TO COME
THEY COME AND THEY GO
THEY GO AND THEY COME
THEY ARRIVE AND THEY DEPART
BUT THIS ISN'T
SIMPLY A SITUATION OF
COMINGS AND GOINGS
WHEN OBSERVED ARIGHT
GOING ISN'T OTHER COMING

WRITTEN IN 2007 IN OCTOBER THE 28TH
ON FLIGHT FROM LONDON TO DOHA
FLYING OVER TURKEY 02:09:31 AM HOUS
THE LAND OF YOUNIS EMRE AND MEVLANA RUMI
INSPIRED BY TWO LINES OF MAHMUD SHABISTARI IN HIS WORK 'GARDEN PF MYSTERY'
"yet this isn't a situation of coming and goings. when observed aright going isn't other than coming"

JUST IMAGINE THAT EACH BEAT OF THE HEART THAT HAS BEEN AND THAT IS TO BE AND IS NOW IS ALWAYS TO BE ALIVE AND WELL IN EXISTENCE...IMAGINE THAT...

X 2

IT IS FOR THE CONNECTION THAT ONE SEEKS
NOT FOR PURPOSE OF LOVE
NOT FOR PURPOSE OF LUST
NOT FOR PURPOSE OF NEED
IT IS FOR PURPOSE OF EXISTENCE
IT IS TO SHARE TIME TO SPACE
OF DISCOVERY AND EVOLUTION

I THOUGHT THAT I HAD FOUND ME
ME IN YOU
I BEGAN TO TALK LIKE YOU
I BEGAN TO LAUGH LIKE YOU
WE KNEW ALREADY THAT
WE THOUGHT LIKE EACH OTHER

I SAW ME IN YOU
AND YOU SAW YOU IN ME
WE SAW EACH OTHER
IN THE OTHER
WITHIN AND WITHOUT
OUR EXISTENCES
OUR ENERGIES
DOUBLED


WRITTEN IN 2004 IN NOVEMBER OF 30TH IN DOHA..QATAR

IN THE END IT IS ME

ONE MUST KNOW SELF
TO KNOW ONE SELF
THEN IT IS POSSIBLE
TO BE KNOWN
TO BE KNOWN
ONE MUST KNOW

AND SO IT GOES MY FRIENDS
TO BE UNDERSTOOD
ONE MUST UNDERSTAND
TO BE LOVED
ONE MUST LOVE
TO BELONG
ONE MUST BE - LONG

IN THE END IT IS ME...



WRITTEN IN WINTER OF DOHA IN 2004 IN MONTH OF DECEMBER ON BOXING DAY

OF OUR WEAKNESS

BECAUSE WE OF OUR WEAK
WE CAN NOT LOVE
BECAUSE OF THE WEAKNESS
WE CAN NOT GO FORWARD
I AM DEEPLY SORRY
FOR I THOUGHT AT THE LEAST
WE COULD WORK
AWAY FROM WEAKNESS
