Where Everything is Music by Jalaluddin Rumi
Rumi I
Don't worry about saving these songs!
And if one of our instruments breaks,
It doesn't matter.
Rumi II
The strumming and the flute notes
Rise into the atmosphere,
And even if the whole world's harp
Should burn up, there will still be hidden instruments playing.
Rumi III
This singing art is sea foam.
The graceful movements come from a pearl somewhere in the ocean floor.
Poems reach up like spindrift, and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting!
They derive
From a slow and powerful root
That we can't see.
Rumi IV
Stop the words now.
Open the window in the center of your chest,
And let the spirits fly in and out.
Stefan Hersh, violin; Bion Tsang, cello
