I've broken through to longing now,
filled with a grief I have felt before,
but never like this.

"Without Brushing My Hair"
Hafiz
The closer I get to you, Beloved, the more I can see it is just You and I alone in this world.
I hear a knock at my door, who else could it be, so I rush without brushing my hair.
For too many nights I have begged for Your return.
And what is the use of vanity at this late hour, at this divine season, that has now come to my folded knees?
If your love letters are true dear God I will surrender myself to who You keep saying I am.

"The Swan"
Rainer Maria Rilke
This clumsy living that moves lumbering
as if in ropes through what is not done
reminds us of the awkward way the swan walks.
And to die, which is a letting go
of the ground we stand on and cling to every day,
is like the swan when he nervously lets himself down
into the water, which receives him gaily
and which flows joyfully under
and after him, wave after wave,
while the swan, unmoving and marvelously calm,
is pleased to be carried, each minute more fully grown,
more like a king, composed, farther and farther on.

This being human is a Guest House
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a Depression, a Meaness,
Some momentary awareness comes
As an Unexpected Visitor.
Welcome them All!
Even if they're a crowd of Sorrows
Who violently sweep your house
Empty of its furniture.
Still treat each Guest honorably.
He or She may be clearing you out
For some New Delight.
The Dark Thought, the Shame, the Malice,
Meet them at the door, Laughing,
And invite Them in,
Be grateful for whoever comes
Because each has been sent
As a Guide from Beyond.
Rumi
