The most living moment comes ...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 amazement and clear thought
twine their slow growth into us...!

~ Rumi
