What a blessing ! What a blessing !.........by Rumi

Don’t hide.
The site of your face
is a blessing.

Wherever you place your foot 
there rests a blessing.

Even your shadow passing over me like swift bird,
is a blessing.

The great Spring has come.
Your sweet air blowing through the city,
the country, the gardens and the desert,
is a blessing.

He has come with love to our door,
his knock is a blessing.

We go from house to house asking of him,
any answer is a blessing.

Caught in this body
we look for a sight of the soul.

Remember what the Beloved said,
one sight is a blessing.

The leaf of every tree brings
a message from the unseen world.

Look,
every falling leaf is a blessing.

All of nature swings in unison
singing without tongues
listening without ears,
what a Blessing.

O Soul
the four elements are your face
Water, wind, fire and earth
Each one is a blessing.

Once the seed of faith takes root,
it cannot be blown away,
even by the strongest wind
Now that's a blessing.

I bow to you
for the dust of your feet
is the crown on my head

And as i walk towards you
every step i take is a blessing.

His form appeared before me
just now as i was singing this poem

I Swear
What a blessing ! What a blessing !

Every vision born of earth is fleeting
Every vision born of heaven is a blessing

For People
the sight of spring warms their hearts

For Fish
the rhythm of ocean is blessing

The brilliant sun that shines in every heart
for heaven's earth and all creatures
What a blessing !

The heart can't wait to speak of this ecstasy
The soul is kissing the earth saying
Oh God what a blessing !

Fill me with shine of your silence
Let it soak my every pore

For the inner splendor it reveals
Is a blessing
Is a blessing.
