SAY I AM YOU...

A Sufi poem by Rumi

I am in love constantly

I dance in my room
to music so loud ,
and let go and forget the past
there is no time but this moment alone
to breath and sing and dance:


 


Listen my soul, o listen


 


I am in love with the sun
who caresses me…


 


I am in love with the wind
who refreshes me…


 


I am in love with old men,
when they drink coffee in bars.


 


I am in love with lonely people,
who need some talks.


 


I am in love with empty streets...


 


when darkness overwhelms the soul.


 


I am in love with little children
who jump, and play and fall.


 


I am in love with flowers...


 


... and trees...
with all nature...


 


... and with the animals.


 


I am in love with stars
that shine during the day.
They remind me: life is a
dream...


 


I am in love with Umbria,
Assisi and its countless bells.


 


I am in love with Francis the fool...
his magic voice, his praises for Jesus, the Lord.


 


No suffering
has power to destroy my life...


 


I am on the way,
and behold God alone.
I have forgiven the past and myself...
I am free, I love and march on.


 


I walk to the destination
where You...


 


...and I...


 


...will meet...


 


in endless joy, in laughter eternal...


 


in the great light of bliss itself...


 


I am in love constantly!
