Balcony Dream
It’s night, with a cool breeze from summer evenings. You’re sitting on my knees on the balcony. Your eyes are closed. In the silence of the night, your breaths have become rhythmic. I run my hand over your freckles. You take a deep breath. You ask, “Was it worth it?”
I say, “It was.”
Cool is the moment we sit on the balcony, you and I
In two forms and two faces, yet one soul, you and I
Stars of the heavens come to watch us
We reveal the moon to them, you and I
You and I, without you and me, gather from sheer delight
Joyful and free from the tangled superstitions, you and I
One pattern on this earth and another pattern beyond
In eternal paradise and the land of sweetness, you and I
- Rumi
