Reading Dawn Want

More From Rumi

Dawn's faint breath breathes with your mouth at the ends of empty streets. gray light your eyes, sweet drops of dawn on dark hills. your steps and breath like the wind of dawn smother houses. the city shudders, stones exhale— you are life, an awakening. star lost in the light of dawn, trill of the breeze, warmth, breath— the night is done. you are light and morning.
Sweet Morning Stars
When you have your own bus, then you have dignity. when you have your own school, you have dignity. when you have your own country, you have dignity.when you have something of your own, you have dignity. but whenever you are begging for a chance to participate in that which belongs to someone else, or use that which belongs to someone else, on an equal basis with the owner, that's not dignity. that's ignorance.
Country School Ignorance
It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor. would you be mine? could you be mine?... it's a neighborly day in this beauty wood, a neighborly day for a beauty. would you be mine? could you be mine?... i've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you. i've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you. so, let's make the most of this beautiful day. since we're together we might as well say: would you be mine? could you be mine? won't you be my neighbor? won't you please, won't you please? please won't you be my neighbor?
Beautiful Together Might
Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. it is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness. more important than being loved, therefore, is to love.
Compassion Concern For Others Giving
With a gentle pressure, our lips met. his hands slipped more firmly about me, and i held myself back, not afraid, but wanting to feel everything slowly as i leaned in, tasting the wine on him, feeling the warmth of his body pressing into mine, breathing in our scents that were mingling and changing with the warmth. my hands rose to find his hair, and i relaxed into him as the silky strands brushed through my fingers. i wanted more, and i leaned into him as our lips moved against each other.
Wine Breathing Hair
When dawn looked at vic, she saw vic exactly as he wanted to be seen. whereas vic's parents couldn't help seeing who he used to be, and so many friends and strangers couldn't help seeing who he didn't want to be anymore, dawn only saw him. call it a blur if you want, but dawn didn't see a blur. she saw a very distinct, very clear person.
