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 moving
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 amuse 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.
The Love Poems of Rumi, Deepak Chopra (Editor)

Your blog is very nice. Lots of pretty stuff!
I love Rumi!
These linens are dreamy. Simple, all natural bed linens are becoming harder to find these days but there's nothing like old, softened linen.
