This Is Love by melmobley

Premiere by ULM Chamber Singers, 2-21-17

This is love: to fly towards a secret sky,
to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.
First, let go of live (breath).
In the end, take a step without feet;
to regard the world as invisible,
and to disregard what appears to be self.
Oh, Heart, I say,
what a gift it has been
to enter this circle of lovers,
to see beyond seeing itself,
to reach and feel within the breast.

-Rumi (1207-1273)
