Looking for your face

[Guest guest]

" Looking for your face "

Just wanted to share this beautiful poem " Looking for your face " by

Rumi:

 

From the beginning of my life

I have been looking for your face

but today I have seen it.

 

Today I have seen

the charm, the beauty,

the unfathomable grace

of the face

that I was looking for.

 

Today I have found you

and those that laughed

and scorned me yesterday

are sorry that they were not looking

as I did.

 

I am bewildered by the magnificence

of your beauty

and wish to see you with a hundred eyes.

 

My heart has burned with passion

and has searched forever

for this wondrous beauty

that I now behold.

 

I am ashamed

to call this love human

and afraid of God

to call it divine.

 

Your fragrant breath

like the morning breeze

has come to the stillness of the garden

You have breathed new life into me

I have become your sunshine

and also your shadow.

 

My soul is screaming in ecstasy

Every fiber of my being

is in love with you

 

Your effulgence

has lit a fire in my heart

and you have made radiant

for me

the earth and sky.

 

My arrow of love

has arrived at the target

I am in the house of mercy

and my heart

is a place of prayer.

 

--

With Love,

Joson
