"One Breath" from Songs of Rumi
for Soprano, Piano, Strings, and Oboe

When you find yourself with the Beloved, embracing for one breath,
In that moment you will find your true destiny.

Your love lifts my soul from my body to the sky
And you lift me up out of the two worlds.

I want your sun to reach my raindrops,
so your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.

-Shahram Shiva
