about

A Rumi Poem
Music composed by Garo Altinian
English version by Coleman Barks

lyrics

I came and sat in front of you
As I would at an alter
The promises I made before
I broke when I saw you

You were alone I got you to sing
You were quit I made tell stories
No one knew who you were
But now they do

Something opens our wings
Something makes hurt disappear
Someone fills the cup in front of us
We only feel sacredness

Out of nowhere a horse
Brought us here
Where we taste love
Until we don’t exist again
this taste
Is the wine we mention

Don’t come to us without music
We celebrate with drum and flute
With wine not made from grapes
In a place you can’t imagine
