I am...
Waters that rage before the flood bathes.
The shore that casts the waves into the seas.
The light that shimmers upon the lake’s edge.
the tear that glistens an eye.

You are...
The fountain that sprinkles a symphony.
The coo of a mourning dove.
The whisper that calls me.
The moon that bathes my soul.

We are...
Flowers blooming upon the vine.
Wine’s sparkle behind a crystal shell.
A flake of snow, landing lightly upon a lid.
A water’s drip before the fall spills.

I am...
The love that bubbles endlessly.
The rush of cheeks in a roses blush.
The cavern’s silence beneath a starry sky.
An owls cry before the dawn.

And as the day swallows the stars, as comets
trace the pillow of darkness...As mountains
move toward the seas...I am here....
Forever in love...
With you...

I loved this then    I love this now
I will keep it so I can love it now and then.
I will even place a link to it in my "Rumi" collection.
It has that feel
Thank you for this.

Barry,

I love that you didn't follow the format that was created for us.  I love that you broke off on your own and showed your inner self.  I love this lots.

A very, special poem. Would make for an excellent reading at a wedding, as it is an outstanding declaration of love.
