A Rumi's poem: "Looking for your face"

I found out this amazing and beautiful love poem randomly in the web and I felt in love with it. This poem has been my inspiration for many writings I have done. I love how it describes perfectly so many feelings at once and the way it explains how love can be unexpected but perfect as well. I love the fact that it made me feel so much love and that i can't stop reading at it, just as I can't stop listening my favorite song.



From the beginning of my life 
I have been looking for your face
But today I have seen it

Today I have seen 
The charm, the beauty, 
The unfathomable grace 
Of the face
That I was looking for 

Today I have found you 
And those who laughed 
And scorned me yesterday 
Are sorry that they were not looking
As I did

I am bewildered by the magnificence 
Of your beauty 
And wish to see you 
With a hundred eyes 

My heart has burned with passion
And has searched forever
For this wondrous beauty 
That I now behold 

I am ashamed 
To call this love human
And afraid of God
To call it divine 

Your fragrant breath 
Like the morning breeze 
Has come to the stillness of the garden
You have breathed new life into me
I have become your sunshine 
And also your shadow

My soul is screaming in ecstasy 
Every fiber of my being 
Is in love with you 

Your effulgence 
Has lit a fire in my heart
For me
The earth and the sky

My arrow of love 
Has arrived at the target 
I am in the house of mercy
And my heart 
is a place of prayer.
