! In The Spirit Of Rumi - 9

Rating: 2.8


O My Beloved

I looked for You
everywhere, and in all things;

I looked for You
in all that lives, in all that moves;

I looked for You
in bodies, minds, and hearts;

I looked for You
in beauty, goodness, truth;

You had been in all these things
but had moved on..

I could not find You in the seen;
then found You in the seeing,

O My Beloved

My peace is shattered by thy glorious sight No remedy can restore it. A beautiful set of sufi poems, Michael. It is so difficult to get just the right feel and you have done it so well.
