Another beautiful poem from RUMI!!!
I only speak of the Sun
because the Sun is my Master
I worship even the dust at His feet.
because the Sun is my Master
I worship even the dust at His feet.
I am not a night-lover and do not praise sleep
I am the messenger of the Sun!
I am the messenger of the Sun!
Secretly I will ask him
and pass the answers to you.
and pass the answers to you.
Like the Sun
I shine on those who are forsaken
I shine on those who are forsaken
I may look drunk and disheveled
but I speak the Truth.
but I speak the Truth.
Tear off the mask,
your face is glorious,
your face is glorious,
your heart may be cold as stone but
I will warm it with my raging fire.
I will warm it with my raging fire.
No longer will I speak
of sunsets or rising Moons,
of sunsets or rising Moons,
I will bring you love's wine
for I am born of the Sun
I am a King!
for I am born of the Sun
I am a King!
Rumi
