Yearning
"There is some kiss we want with our whole lives" - Rumi
You think you yearn
for things you don’t
have,
When
In reality
You yearn for something you already possess
but have forgotten.
Rumi says go ahead and yearn,
As hard as you can, yearn
As if your LIFE depended on it.
Finally, you will be exhausted,
so tired you can't even think of yearning.
Then, in that stillness
behind yearning
something gives up:
The pain of separation
from that
which we yearn.
Funny how
no one ever sees
yearning as a veil
hiding
That Kiss we want with our whole lives.
