lyrics

The Source of Joy, from the Soul of Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks

Love is a river, drink from it.
Love is a river, drink from it.
No one knows what makes the soul wake up so happy!
Maybe a down breeze has blown the veil from the face of God.
A thousand moons appear.
Roses open laughing.
Hearts become perfect rubies like those from Badakshtan.
The body turns entirely spirit.
Leaves become branches in the wind.
Why is It now so easy to surrender, even for those already surrendered?
There’s no answer to any of this.
No one knows the source of joy.
A poet breathes into a reed flute, and the tip of every hair makes music.
Shams salis down clods of dirt from the roof,
and we take jobs as doorkeepers for him.
A road might end at a single house, but it’s not love’s road.
Love is a river, drink from it.
Love is a river, drink from it.
Rise.
Move around the center as pilgrims wind the Kaaba
being still is how one cley clod sticks to another in sleep,
while movement wakes us up and unlocks new blessings.
