My dearest one: tell me, <br />why you always return to Me? <br /> <br />I said to My Beloved <br /> <br />In everything I do, I fail, fall short <br />of what I would offer from my heart to You; <br /> <br />You see this; and say nothing. <br /> <br />But then you hide behind my eyes; <br />and so I see with Your eyes, <br />where I have failed; <br /> <br />Seeing all this with Your eyes, <br />how can I not return to You, <br /> <br />O My Beloved?<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-spirit-of-rumi-22/
