Poem by Rumi, from "The Purity of Desire" by Daniel Ladinsky

lyrics

A couple used to come see me once in a while.
Among the many I knew who were together,
they appeared the most happy.
One day I said to them, “What advice could you
offer to other sweethearts that might help them
achieve the grace you have found?”
And the young woman blushed and so did her
partner; so I did not press them to answer.
But I knew, i knew.
Their secret was this: That once every day, for
an hour, they treated each other as if they were
gods and would with all their heart, do anything,
anything their beloved desired.
Sometimes that just meant holding hands and
walking in the hills or a forest that renewed their
souls.
