I and thou...! ~ Rumi

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...!

~ Rumi
