How Very Close Is Your Soul With Mine

 

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   Rebecca Lin 2013 Spring In USA

His poems have been widely translated into many of the world's languages and transposed into various formats.
