I came to the shore at twilight



I came to the shore at twilight and saw seven candles.
I hurried along the beach toward them
I was amazed.  My amazement was amazed.
Waves of bewilderment broke over my head.
What are those candles that no one seems to see?
 ... the seven became one,
in the middle of the sky's rim,
then fanned out to seven again...
flashes of light spurted from each like juice.

-- Rumi
