The Most Alive Moment....by Rumi

The most living moment comes
when those who love each other
meet each other’s eyes
and in what flows between them then.

To see your face in a crowd of others,
or alone on a frightening street,
I weep for that.
Our tears improve the earth.

The time you scolded me, your gratitude,
your laughing,
always your qualities increase the soul.

Seeing you is a wine
that does not muddle or numb.

We sit inside the cypress shadow
where amazment and clear thought
twine its growth into it.

~ Rumi
(The Most Alive Moment)
