I love this poem


On a day when the wind is perfect
the sail just needs to open
and the world is full of beauty.
Today is such a day.
My eyes are like the sun that makes promises;
the promise of life that it always keeps
each morning.
The living heart gives to us as does that
luminous sphere,
both caress the earth with great tenderness.
This is the breeze that can enter the soul.
This love I know plays a drum.
Arms move around me;
who can contain their self before my beauty?
Peace is wonderful but ecstatic dance is
more fun, and less narcissistic:
gregarious He makes our lips.
On a day when the wind is perfect
the sail just needs to open
and the love starts.
Today is such a day.
-- Rumi
