Say Who I Am - Rumi Poem

Say Who I Am

I am dust particles in sunlight

I am the round sun

To the bits of dust I say, stay

To the sun, keep moving

I am morning mist

And the breathing of evening

I am wind in the top of a grove

And surf on the cliff

Mast, rudder, helmsman and keel

I am also the coral reef they founder on

I am a tree with a trained parot in its branches

Silence, thought and voice

The musical air coming through a flute

A spart off a stone, a flickering in metal

Both candle and the moth crazy around it

Rose and the ninghtingale

Lost in the fragrance

I am all orders of being, the circling galaxy

The evolutionary intelligence, the lift

And the falling away what is and what isn't.
