A Voice Through the Door

Sometimes you hear a voice through the door
calling you, as fish out of water hear the waves,

or a hunting falcon hears the drum’s 
Come back. Come back.

This turning toward what you deeply love
saves you.

Read the book of your life,
which has been given you.

A voice comes to your soul saying,
Lift your foot. Cross over.

Move into emptiness
of question and answer and question.

by Rumi
