changing the water
to liquid sweet

From the Publisher
The Love Poems of Rumi: Translated by Nader Khalili (Part of the Timeless Rumi series)
IN THIS EARTH
in this earth / in this immaculate field / we shall not plant any seeds / except for compassion / except for love
WHEN I FIRST FELL IN LOVE
when i first fell in love / my neighbors couldn’t rest for / my long lamenting times / now that my lamenting / has gone down / the real love / begins to surface / as high fire / catches on / smoke disappears
ALL MY FRIENDS
all my friends / departed like dreams / left alone / i called upon / one friend / to become / my entire dream
this is the one / who soothes my heart / with endless / tenderness and love
the one who / one hour bestows / inner peace / and the next / the nectar of life
this dream too / as it arrives / i come alive and as it departs / i’m helpless again
