Rumi, You Rascal––Rumi Poems 9
Rumi Poems––9
Rumi, you rascal,
I know you are sending
me messages,
too numerous
to count.
O.K., let's be up front
with all this.
You keep on speaking
as you twirl,
and I
am learning to fly.

This is the last of the Rumi poems. They were written quickly, one after another, on the evening of December 9, after I had been reading some of his quatrains translated by Andrew Harvey. I did not know ( nor was I concerned about) how they would be received. Last night I met someone who told me that she indeed loved them. That was reassuring to me. If a poem finds a singer reader who resonates with it, that is sufficient reward.
