ME AND YOU- by Rumi

Bliss-
The instant
Spent seated
On the terrace,
Me next to you
Two forms and
Two faces
With just one soul,
Me and you.


The chatter of the birds
The garden’s murmur
Flowing
Like a fountain of youth
As we stroll
Through roses
The stars of the firmament bent low to look over us
Let’s eclipse them, shine like the moon,
Me and you

Me and you join,
Beyond me
Beyond you
In joy
Happy released from delire and delusion

Me and you, laughing like this
Reach dimensions where celestial birds suck sugar cubes

Magical! Me and you, here,
In our corner of earth,
But wafting on airs of Iraq and Khorasan,
Me and you
In one form here on earth
In other forms in paradise,
Eternal, sunk in fields of sugar
Me and you
Me and you
