Rumi Meets Huangdi; Inspiring Meditation

Rumi Meets Huangdi: Inspiring Meditation

Tilting our inner ear to the fire,
resonating out both ends the candle's Light;
within, without, and all about.
Listening for the guiding Light of truth,
in all it's totality.

On that day,
how easily excited it will be to rise from slumber,
maybe even being inclined to help the sun,
were our place not to rise together.

How joyous the moment will be
when that outward looking fire of awareness
reunites with that inner longing of water's resting place,
on inward reflecting pools of desire to be whole.

What voice do you use to talk to such a one?
What title would you use to reference it,
if every day could be one with a Beloved?

Would that change your tone or color of the day?
For in the sun rays, would not only be the warming of skin,
but also the guiding vector back within.
How long can you hold the Light of attention to burn through,
to where the fire meets the other side of the wax tunnel?

Now is the time to come home to our inner Source,
where looked and looker meet.
One eye/I for both,
and both for my Beloved.
