Oceans

[robinturner]

Thinking about recent exchanges with flowersperish about Sheila Chandra's "Ever so lonely" and This Mortal Coil's "Song to the Siren", both of which involve oceans, I found this part of a poem by Rumi (a.k.a. Mevlana):

We're clouds over the sea, or flecks of matter
in the ocean when the ocean seems lit from within.
I know I'm drunk when I start this ocean talk."

:) Beautiful. Do you have the full poem or the title? I was listening to the song you gave me before I came to the net.
