A moment of happiness

A moment of happiness,

you and I sitting on the verandah,
apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.

We feel the flowing water of life here, you and I, with the garden's beauty 🍃

and the birds singing. 🎶

The stars will be watching us, 💫

and we will show them
what it is to be a thin crescent moon. 🌙

You and I unselfed, will be together, 🔗
indifferent to idle speculation, you and I.
The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar
as we laugh together, you and I

In one form upon this earth,
and in another form in a timeless sweet land.

-Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi.
