Rumi

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Here is some Rumi.

 

I died as mineral and became plant,

I died as plant and rose to animal,

I died as animal and I was a man.

Why should I fear, when was I less by dying?

Yet, once more, I shall die as man, to soar -

With angels blessed, but even from angelhood -

I must pass on; all accept God doth perish.

When I have sacrificed my angel soul,

I shall become what no mind e'er conceived,

Oh! Let me not exist, for non-existence

Proclaims in organ-tones, "To Him we shall return."

 

In Love and Friendship,

Mazie
