You've no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You.
Nothing seemed right. What's the point of bringing gold
to the gold mine, or water to the Ocean.
Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient.
It's no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these.
So- I've brought you a mirror.Look at yourself and remember me.
- Jalaluddin Rumi
(World's Beloved Mystic, Poet, Philosopher)

God bless you dear Sister for sharing these love kissed words with us today,

Thanks again for your Lovely comments. It's helpful for me to express myself this way, even though I would trade it any day for what is now gone..
This poem you share here is very personal to me.. May others find a special place for it in their hearts too.
I'm adding you to my blogroll. And I will e-mail you soon insha'Allah.
Our hearts can be our mirrors; when polished brightly enough, we may only then present it as a gift to our Beloved to have Him reflecting forever in our hearts, though our "selves" no longer be!
Thanks dear Krishna for this inspiring wine from Rumi's Tavern of Love.
