Burnt Kabob - Rumi

[Guest guest]

Last year, I admired wines. This,

I'm wandering inside the red world.

Last year, I gazed at the fire.

This year I'm burnt kabob.

Thirst drove me down to the water

where I drank the moon's reflection.

Now I am a lion staring up totally

lost in love with the thing itself.

Don't ask questions about longing.

Look in my face.

Soul drunk, body ruined, these two

sit helpless in a wrecked wagon.

Neither knows how to fix it.

And my heart, I'd say it was more

like a donkey sunk in a mudhole,

struggling and miring deeper.

But listen to me: for one moment,

quit being sad. Hear blessings

dropping their blossoms

around you. God.

~ Rumi
