into the wilder
Wilder Than We Ever
The one who pours is wilder than we
ever become drinking, wilder than
wine, the one who fills to the rim
and leaves to live in absence with
a toast: go home. There’s nothing for you here. A pearl in the shell
does not touch the ocean. Be a pearl
without a shell, a mindful flooding,
Candle turned moth,head become empty
jar, bird settling nest, love lived.
– Rumi
