Love poem by Rumi
 

The Awakening:

In the early dawn of happiness

you gave me three kisses

so that I would wake up

to this moment of love




I tried to remember in my heart

what I’d dreamt about

during the night

before I became aware

of this morning

of life.




I found my dreams

but the moon took me away.

It lifted me up to the firmament

and suspended me there.

I saw how my heart had fallen

on your path

singing a song.




Between my love and my heart

things were happening which

slowly, slowly

made me recall everything




You arouse me with your touch

although I can’t see your hands.

You have kissed me with tenderness

although I haven’t seen your lips.

You are hidden from me.




But it is you who keeps me alive




Perhaps the time will come

when you will tire of kisses.

I shall be happy

even for insults from you.

I only ask that you

keep some attention

on me.
