Poem by Rumi, from "Love Poems from God" by Daniel Ladinsky

lyrics

What will our children do in the morning?
Will they wake with their hearts wanting to play,
the way wings should?
Will they have dreamed the needed flights and
gathered the strength from the planets that all
men and women need
to balance the wonderful charms of the earth,
so that her power and beauty does not make
us forget our own?
I know all about the ways of the heart—how it
wants to be alive.
Love so needs to love, that it will endure almost
anything, even abuse, just to flicker for a moment.
But the sky’s mouth is kind, its song will never
hurt you, for I sing those words.
What will our children do in the morning if they
do not see us fly?
