Rumi - 'nations



Blessed time! when we are sitting,
  I and thou,
With two forms and only one soul,
  I and thou.
Fragrance, song of birds, they quicken ev'rything
When we come into the garden,
  I and thou.
All the stars of heaven hurry
  to see us,
And we show them our own moon,
  I and thou-
I and thou without words, without
  I and thou-
In delight we are united,
  I and thou.
Sugar chew the heaven's parrots
  in that place
Where we're sitting, laughing sweetly,
  I and thou.
Strange that I and thou together
  in this nook
Are apart a thousand miles, see-
  I and thou.
One form in this dust, the other
  in that land.
Sweet eternal Paradise there...
  I and thou
.                         Mevlana Rumi...



And if I could respond, my heart, to this poem, I'd say (in greatest humility )

Oh time that looses us and is lost by us,
let me walk alongside He who created Thee..
that you be lost in Him and Him in me...
Eternally repteating in His rhyme,
His love,
As one..
