the sea of forgetfulness
plunge yourself into these warm waters
where all mistakes
yours and mine
are honored as the path of evolving souls
trembling hearts are forever soothed here
minds and bodies restored to its original perfection
drink from its ancient wisdom
let her sweep you into her tide
pulling you in deep, then deeper still
then rising and lifting you onto soft green fields
now, who you really are is deeply known here
drink, here, in these waters
they envelop and nourish Rumi’s field
“out beyond all ideas of right doing and wrong doing”*
where all else is surrendered and falls away.
in…the sea of forgetfulness
