Like the shadow I am - Rumi -





I'm drenched 
in the flood 
which has yet to come

I'm tied up
in the prison
that has yet to exist

Not having played 
the game of chess
I'm already the checkmate

Not having tasted
a single cup of your wine
I'm already drunk

Not having entered 
the battlefield
I'm already wounded and slain

I no longer 
know the difference
between image and reality

Like the shadow
I am
and
I am not

-Rumi-
