Poem: How Very Close
Author: Rumi 

How very close
Is your soul with mine
I know for sure
Everything you think
Goes through my mind

I am with you
Now and doomsday
Not like a host
Caring for you
At a feast alone

With you I am happy
All the times
The time I offer my life
Or the time
You gift me your love

Offering my life
Is a profitable venture
Each life I give
You pay in turn
A hundred lives again

And just the moment
When you are all confused
Leaps forth a voice
Hold me close
I'm love and
I'm always yours
