Hello beloveds and welcome to today's reading. A poem by Lumi. The awakening. In the early dawn of happiness, You gave me three kisses. So that I would wake up to this moment of love. I tried to remember in my heart what I dreamt about during the night before I became aware of this moving of life. I found my dreams, But the moon took me away. It lifted me up to the firmament and suspended me there. I saw how my heart had fallen on your path. Singing a song. Between my love and my heart. Things were happening. Which slowly, Slowly made me recall everything. You amuse me with your touch, Although I can't see your hands. You have kissed me with tenderness. Although I haven't seen your lips. You are hidden from me. But it is you who keeps me alive. Perhaps the time will come when you will tire of kisses. I shall be happy even for insults from you. I only ask. That you keep some attention on me.
