Today, like every day,
we are ruined and lonely.

Don’t retreat,
fleeing your emptiness
through the doorway
of thinking.

Try making some music instead.

There are hundreds of ways
to kneel in prayer —
hundreds of ways to open
toward the heart
of the Friend’s beauty.

Mevlana Rumi
A Poem From Mark Strand - Keeping Things Whole - Magpie Daily - Arthur Magazine

Keeping Things Whole
by Mark Strand

In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.

When I walk
I part the air
and always
the air moves in
to fill the spaces
where my body’s been.

We all have reasons
for moving.
I move
to keep things whole.
