Though I'm very fond of Rumi's poetry in general, this one in particular has become especially dear to me over the last 7 years, as I've dealt with successive issues related to an assault/PTSD, a traumatic brain injury, and addiction. It's taken me a long time to understand and accept that I can never go back to being the person that I used to be, and that some parts of my old life are just irrevocably gone; I'm slowly learning how to make peace with that loss and how to finally move forward instead.

Die, die, in this love, die!
When you die in this love, you will receive the whole spirit
Die, die, of this death fear not
For you will reach the sky, when from this earth you will rise
Die, die, you have to cut yourself from this self
Because this self is like a link, and you are its prisoners
Take an ax, this hollow prison must be attacked
You will be kings and lords once the prison is broken
Die, die, with the king with the beautiful face
You will all become kings and princes, if you die with the king
Die, die, rise from this cloud
You will be the full moon, if from this cloud you come out

Love’s wine makes the cup forget it’s a cup. What will it do to a lover?

I choose to love you in silence because in silence I find no rejection, and in silence no one owns you but me.

Out Beyond Ideas
by Rumi
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase ‘each other’
doesn’t make any sense.

I am a ray of the Sun, although I wander among all these mansions. I am
carnelian, gold and ruby, although I was born of water and clay.
Whatever pearl you see, look for another in it. Each
atom of dust says: "Inwardly I am a treasure".
Each jewel tells you: "Do not be satisfied with my beauty, for the light of my
face comes from the candle of my inner reality ”.
I will be silent, because you cannot understand. Don't shake your head, don't try to
deceive me, because my eye discerns intelligence

In winter, the garden is still drunk. The roots of trees secretly sip wine.
