A Couple of Twin Soul Poems

     These are from Rumi:

During the day I was singing with you.
At night we slept in the same bed.
I was not conscious day or night.
 
I thought I knew who I was,
but I was you.
 
---------------------------------------------
 
The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you,
not knowing how blind that was.
 
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They are in each other all along.
 
--------------------------------------------
 
{translations by Coleman Barks}
