Today, I have a poem for you in honor of National Poetry Month and in honor of Breeze on my Skin.
The Breeze at Dawn
by Rumi translated by Coleman Barks
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep.
