I said to My Beloved <br /> <br />O My Beloved <br />I fear I have forgotten You! <br /> <br />I have fallen in love with the world – <br />when I walk out of the door <br />I swoon with the scent of the Spring air; <br />I hear each flower singing in the garden; <br />I sink into the heart of every rose; <br />I am dazzled by the sunlight; <br />I see the sky reflected in the lake <br />and lose myself in its shining stillness; <br />I see the sky and lose myself in the sky’s immensity; <br /> <br />when I walk, my feet want to dance; <br />when I speak, my heart wants to sing; <br />in every person who passes <br />old or young, <br />smiling or frowning, <br />I see myself in them; <br />wherever I look, I see only love… <br /> <br />I have fallen in love with the world – <br />O My Beloved, have I forgotten You? <br /> <br />My Beloved said <br />I am the one in you who sees all this.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-spirit-of-rumi-18/
